Our Roof Replacement Services
We provide a full range of roof replacement options to fit different needs and building types. Our work focuses on quality materials, proper installation, and lasting protection for your property.
Residential Roof Replacement
We replace roofs on homes using materials suited to your style and budget. Common options include asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and tile, chosen for durability and weather resistance.
Our team inspects the existing roof carefully to identify any damage or weak spots first. We then remove the old materials and install the new roof with attention to sealing and ventilation.
This process helps prevent leaks, improves energy efficiency, and increases your home's curb appeal. We also follow local building codes and offer warranties on our workmanship.
Commercial Roof Replacement
We handle roof replacements for businesses, including flat, low-slope, and metal roofs. Materials like TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and metal panels are common for commercial projects.
Our approach includes a detailed inspection, then removing the current roof system if needed. We install new membranes or panels designed to withstand heavy foot traffic and harsh weather.
We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your business operations. Our commercial roof replacements focus on durability, energy savings, and compliance with safety standards.
Full Tear-Off and Re-Roofing
When a roof is severely damaged or aged, we perform a full tear-off before installing the new system. This removes all layers down to the roof deck for a fresh start.
We inspect the plywood or decking for rot or damage and replace any compromised sections. This step ensures a solid, even base for the new roofing materials.
After the deck is ready, we install underlayment and the final roofing material. This method provides the best long-term protection and reduces chances of hidden problems under the new roof.
Types of Roofing Materials We Offer
We provide a range of roofing materials to fit different needs, styles, and budgets. Each type has its own benefits and suits particular kinds of homes and weather conditions.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are a popular choice because they are affordable and easy to install. They come in many colors and styles, making it simple to match your home’s look. These shingles last about 20 to 30 years with proper care. They work well in most climates but may need replacement sooner in extreme heat or heavy storms. Asphalt shingles are also fire-resistant and require low maintenance.
Tile Roofing
Tiles can last over 50 years, making them a long-term investment. They handle hot weather well and resist damage from pests and fire. The weight of tile roofs means your home may need extra structural support. We use tiles that come in different shapes and colors, allowing you to customize your roof’s style while maintaining strong protection.
Metal Roofing
Metal roofing is a great option for durability and energy efficiency. Made from materials like steel or aluminum, metal roofs resist wind, fire, and heavy rain. They can last 40 to 70 years with minimal maintenance. Metal roofs reflect sunlight, which can lower cooling costs. They are also lightweight and easy to install over existing roofs.
Flat and Low-Slope Solutions
Flat and low-slope roofs need special materials because water doesn’t drain as quickly as on steep roofs. We offer membranes like TPO, EPDM, and modified bitumen. These materials provide waterproofing and durability. TPO is energy efficient and resists UV rays. EPDM excels in extreme temperatures and is affordable. Modified bitumen offers strong protection from leaks.
What is Santa Monica Elite Roofing's Roof Replacement Process?
At Santa Monica Elite Roofing, a roof replacement is one of the biggest investments a commercial property owner or homeowner in Santa Monica, CA can make, and we have been treating it that way for over 28 years.
Full Roof Evaluation & Replacement Assessment
At Santa Monica Elite Roofing, every roof replacement starts with a thorough and honest inspection of your entire roofing system. Our certified contractors take a close look at your roof deck condition, existing shingle or membrane deterioration, ventilation performance, flashing integrity, and any signs of moisture intrusion or structural weakness.
Full Roof Stripping & Structural Deck Repair
Once the assessment is complete and you are comfortable moving forward, we carefully remove all existing shingles, damaged underlayment, and failed membrane sections down to the roof deck, then take the time to inspect every inch of the decking underneath. Any rotted, warped, or structurally weakened boards are replaced before anything new goes down because we know that a roof replacement is only as good as the foundation it is built on. We then apply advanced weatherproof underlayment across the entire surface to create a solid, watertight base built to handle Santa Monica's coastal climate conditions, including moisture, salt air exposure, and high wind-driven rain.
Certified Roof Installation & Final Quality Assurance
With the foundation properly prepared, our factory-trained roofing professionals install your new roofing system with the kind of precision and care that only comes from 28 years of experience serving commercial property owners and homeowners across Santa Monica, CA. Santa Monica Elite Roofing then conducts a thorough final walkthrough of the entire roof to confirm that every aspect of the installation meets California building codes and Title 24 energy compliance standards, and that your new manufacturer-certified lifetime warranty coverage is fully activated before we ever consider the job done.
