How much does a new roof installation cost?

New roof installation costs vary based on size, materials, and complexity, typically ranging from moderate to significant investment depending on your home's needs. Asphalt shingles are the most budget-friendly option, while tile and metal roofing cost more but offer longer lifespans. We provide detailed free estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you're paying for with no hidden surprises.

What's the best roofing material for my home?

The best roofing material depends on your budget, home style, and local climate conditions. For Santa Monica's coastal environment, clay tiles offer excellent durability and style, while composite shingles provide good value and performance. Metal roofing works well for modern homes and offers energy efficiency. We evaluate your specific needs, architectural style, and budget to recommend the optimal material that balances performance, aesthetics, and cost-effectiveness.

How long does roof installation take?

Most residential roof installations take three to seven days depending on roof size, complexity, and weather conditions. Simple ranch-style homes often complete in three to four days, while multi-story homes with complex angles may require a full week. Weather delays can extend timelines, but we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine and provide temporary protection if needed.

Do I need permits for roof installation?

Yes, roof installation requires building permits in Santa Monica and surrounding areas. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service, ensuring compliance with local building codes and regulations. We manage the entire permit process so you don't have to navigate city requirements, and all work is completed to pass required inspections.

What's included in a complete roof installation?

Our Roof Installation Process

We prioritize accuracy, efficiency, and quality in every step of our roof installation. From the first visit to the final cleanup, we ensure clear communication and strict adherence to safety and building codes.

1. Free On-Site Consultation

We begin with a free on-site consultation to assess your current roof’s condition and discuss your needs. This visit allows us to measure and inspect for structural issues, damage, or areas needing special attention.

During this consultation, we review material options, styles, and budget considerations with you. Our goal is to provide realistic expectations and transparent pricing based on what we observe at your property.

We also answer any questions you have about the process, timeline, and warranties. This foundation helps set a clear plan tailored to your home before any work begins.

2. Detailed Project Planning

After the consultation, we develop a detailed project plan. This document includes the types and quantities of materials, step-by-step installation procedures, and an estimated timeline.

We coordinate with suppliers to ensure all materials meet local codes and are available before starting work. Any permits required by Santa Monica regulations are obtained by our team to avoid delays.

Our project planning also includes safety protocols for our crew and your property. We keep you informed and involved, so you know what to expect on every workday.

Throughout installation, our trained crew uses the latest tools and safety equipment. We monitor progress daily and make adjustments as needed to stay on schedule without sacrificing quality.
