Roof repair in Sherman Oaks
For roof repair in Sherman Oaks, we cover the apartment and condo buildings along Sepulveda and Van Nuys Boulevard and the ranch houses across the flats and in Chandler Estates. Call (310) 857-2520 and we call back within a few hours.
The building visit is free. Your file starts that day, with photos of your roof.
The first sign might be a text from a tenant on Van Nuys Boulevard, or a drip in your own hallway in Chandler Estates.
Whichever it is, you decide what gets fixed and in what order, and we give you the photos and the prices to decide with.
What every job gets
- The building visit is free. It takes about 45 minutes a roof, and your file starts that day, with photos of your roof.
- The written scope follows within 48 hours. Each part of the roof has its own price, so a board can approve one part now and leave the rest.
- We stop a leak that day. Give us the address and the unit, and we tell you, or the tenant, once the water has stopped.
- Every building gets its own file. It holds a plan of the roof with each problem numbered and photographed, what we did and what it cost.
- Ten years on our workmanship, counted from the day the final page is signed. Where a fault is in our work, we repair it and the building pays nothing. The roofing material has the manufacturer's own warranty, on a second paper in the same file.
Signs of a leak on the boulevard and on the flats
A tenant on the top floor texts your manager a photo
Ask for the unit and whether it is dripping now or only stained. Call us with the address and the unit, and tell us who should hear when the water has stopped.
We go that day. If the stain is on the top floor under a flat roof, the cause is often close by, and the photo we take up there shows you which drain or seam it was.
Two units on the same side report wet ceilings
If two tenants call about the same wall of the building, give us both unit numbers. One problem on the roof often shows up in two apartments below it.
We photograph the whole roof on the visit, not only the spot over the first call, so the second complaint is already on a page when it comes.
You find the ring on your own ceiling in the flats
If your ranch house north of Ventura has a brown ring in the hallway, call us before the next rain. A house gets the free visit, the photos and a written price for each part of the roof, the same as a building.
If it is dripping now, say so. We stop it that day, and the full repair waits for a dry roof.
The flats, Chandler Estates and the boulevards
- Ranch houses on the flats north of the Boulevard. Postwar, one story, with the garage attached or just behind, so one visit takes in both.
- Chandler Estates. Larger lots, larger ranch houses, and more roof over each of them. A leak over one wing can be fixed now while the rest of the roof waits for the dry months, each part with its own price.
- Apartments and condos along Sepulveda and Van Nuys Boulevard. Flat roofs with drains that clog and seams that open in the Valley heat.
Getting up there on a boulevard building and on a ranch house
- Up to the roof. A hatch or an outside stair on the boulevard buildings, and a ladder from the driveway on a ranch house. Tell us which one it is.
- The trucks and the tenants' cars. One sheet goes up in the lobby with the dates, the hours and where the trucks will park, so nobody finds a truck in their space.
- Nobody moves out. No part of the roof is left open overnight.
- Each evening. The yard is swept for nails before we go.
- Tenants' doors. We don't knock on them unless you ask us to.
Flat, tile and shingle roofs here, and the gutters
- Flat roofs on the apartment buildings. Coatings, patches and new surfaces, with the drains cleared first. Our page on flat roof repair covers all three.
- Spanish and clay tile. Cracked or slipped tiles go back on, and when the paper under them is finished, the tiles come off and go back on new paper. Our tile roof repair page explains which your roof needs.
- Shingles on the ranch houses. Lifted or torn shingles are replaced. Our shingle roofs page says when a repair is enough and when roof replacement makes more sense.
- Gutters too. We clean, repair and replace gutters.
- A strip of shops or a workshop. Coatings or a new surface, booked so the shops below can stay open.
A past roofer's warranty, one part of the roof, and a sale
The last roofer's work is still under warranty. Does that matter to you?
No. Who installed the roof makes no difference to the visit or to what we write down. We photograph what is there and price each part on its own.
If you have the old paperwork, keep it with ours in the same folder.
Can the board approve only the part that is leaking?
Yes. Each part of the roof has its own price, so a board can approve the part over unit 6 and leave the rest for another meeting.
What is left waits with its photo and a month to look at it again.
I am selling the house. What does the lender need?
A roof certification. We inspect the roof, make the repairs it needs and then issue the certification, so tell us the closing date.
Our page on roof inspections and certifications explains what the buyer's lender gets.
Call (310) 857-2520 with the address, and the unit if there is one.
We also work next door in Encino, Studio City and Van Nuys.
