Roof Replacement in Van Nuys
Roof replacement in Van Nuys means working across a dense mix of mid-century single-family homes, flat-roof garages, and smaller multi-family buildings that stretch from Valley Glen and Delano through Hazeltine Estates and Lake Balboa. The valley floor here offers no coastal relief from summer heat, and that sustained thermal load shortens the service life of composition shingles and flat-roof membranes alike.
Roof Replacement Inc handles full roof replacement in Van Nuys, covering composition shingle re-roofs, TPO and modified bitumen flat systems, and complete tear-offs with new decking. Van Nuys sits on the valley floor, where decades of intense sun and heat accelerate shingle wear on the area's many mid-century single-family homes. Call (213) 364-3979.

A Recent Roof Replacement Project in Van Nuys
Low-Slope Roof Rebuild with Rotted Decking Replaced in Van Nuys, CA
This Van Nuys low-slope roof was past repairing. Several seams across the field had split open, and where the parapet met the chimney the flashing had let go of the brickwork entirely. Pulling the membrane up showed worse underneath: plywood soaked over a long period, and rotten framing behind the chimney parapet. Neither could be built over, so the bad timber came out and new framing went in to give the replacement system something solid to terminate against.
The chimney flashing turned out to be several old repairs layered on each other, every one of them lifted off the base. All of it came back to clean masonry before fresh metal was bedded into the mortar line and a fabric-reinforced membrane lapped across it. The roof is finished in a light-grey reflective surface, with tidy terminations at the pipe penetrations and the perimeter flashing tied in. Valley summers are hard on asphalt-based membranes, which is why the reflective finish was chosen.
What Van Nuys Roof Replacements Typically Involve
Most Van Nuys homes were built between the 1940s and 1970s, and many are on their second or third roof system. At that age, a re-roof often reveals soft decking, deteriorated felt underlayment, or original skip sheathing that needs to be brought up to a solid substrate before a new finish system goes down. Roof Replacement Inc scopes the decking condition as part of every replacement estimate so there are no surprises once the tear-off is complete. Call (213) 364-3979 to schedule a look at your home.

TPO and Modified Bitumen Roofing in Van Nuys
Flat and low-slope roofs are common on Van Nuys garages, rear additions, and smaller apartment buildings throughout zip codes like 91405 and 91406. Torch-down modified bitumen and TPO single-ply membranes are the systems Roof Replacement Inc installs most often on these surfaces, chosen for their durability under the valley's heat cycles. Roof coatings are also an option where the existing substrate is structurally sound and a full replacement is not yet warranted. To discuss which system fits your building, call (213) 364-3979.
- ✓TPO single-ply membrane for flat roofs on garages and additions
- ✓Torch-down modified bitumen on low-slope multi-family buildings
- ✓Roof coatings applied over sound existing flat-roof substrates
