Call (844) 563-1816 and a live person will answer, even at 10 p.m. on a Sunday.

Why Lakewood Homeowners Choose Ridgeline Roofing Co.
We didn’t set up shop here last year. Ridgeline Roofing Co. was founded in 1984, and we’ve spent the last nine years serving the same Lakewood neighborhoods where our crews live and raise families. The 90-Day Done Right Promise isn’t a slogan on a magnet, it’s a written workmanship guarantee. If something isn’t right, we come back and make it right. No forms to mail, no arguments, no runaround.
Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to document every inspection with photos taken from your actual roof, not the driveway. When Mrs. Henning on Del Amo Boulevard had us check her place after the 2023 winter storms, we found uplifted eave courses the previous contractor had face-nailed too high. She called us because her neighbor in Lakewood Village had the same problem. That’s how it goes here.
We answer our own phones. A live person, 24 hours a day. Not a callback window, not a voicemail tree. When the Santa Ana winds are tearing at your shingles at midnight, someone who can dispatch help is on the line.
Roofing Services We Offer in Lakewood
Roof Repair in Lakewood
Leaks around vent pipes, wind-lifted tabs, and deteriorated flashing are the most common calls we get from the 90712 and 90713 ZIP codes. We carry the inventory to complete most repairs in a single visit, and we don’t quote one price to get in the door and another when the ladder comes down. Learn more about our Roof Repair in Lakewood.
Roof Replacement & Installation in Lakewood
Given the age-uniform housing stock here, full replacement is often the honest recommendation once we assess what’s actually under the shingles. Multiple layered roofs on original skip sheathing won’t meet current LA County code for new installation, and we won’t bury that problem under new material. We install GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Atlas systems with proper decking upgrades where needed. Learn more about our Roof Replacement & Installation in Lakewood.
Specialty Roofing in Lakewood
The shallow 2:12 to 4:12 pitches common to Lakewood’s ranch tracts limit standard shingle options and increase ponding risk. We specify low-slope membranes, modified bitumen, and proper tapered insulation where the original grading has settled or where additions created drainage traps. Learn more about our Specialty Roofing in Lakewood.
Gutters & Accessories
Low-slope roofs don’t shed water fast. When your gutters & accessories in Lakewood are undersized, clogged, or pitched wrong, that water finds the fascia and the soffit. We install seamless aluminum systems sized to the roof area, with proper downspout placement that doesn’t dump against the foundation.
Emergency & Storm Damage Response
When the marine layer burns off and a Santa Ana event hits, we get emergency & storm damage calls in Lakewood from all over the grid streets. Our emergency crew carries tarps, plywood, and temporary sealants to stop active leaks until permanent repair or replacement can be scheduled. Same-day response when conditions allow.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Lakewood
We’ve replaced roofs in Wheat Ridge, CO and nearby, repaired wind damage, and cleared storm drains from one end of the city to the other. Most Lakewood calls reach us within 20 minutes by surface streets.
- Lakewood Village - the original 1950 core, where three-layer roofs are most common
- Lakewood Park - mature trees drop debris that accelerates gutter and valley wear
- Mayfair Park - shallow pitches and original skip sheathing throughout
- Del Amo area - near the Long Beach border, absorbing similar UV load with less coastal moderation
Why Lakewood’s Climate & Housing Affect Roofing
Lakewood sits in a narrow zone: close enough to the Pacific for morning marine layer, but inland enough that by 2 p.m. the sun is hammering asphalt shingles with UV that coastal Long Beach doesn’t see. That granule loss you notice in the gutter? It’s happening faster here than three miles south. The low pitches of 1950s ranch construction mean water moves slowly, and any deficiency in the underlayment or flashing gets found out fast during LA County’s concentrated winter rain events.
Then there’s the construction history. Nearly every home in this city went up between 1950 and 1954 on identical or near-identical plans. When the first re-roofing boom hit in the late 1970s, and again in the late 1990s, contractors layered new shingles over old rather than tearing off. We’ve opened up roofs in the 90711 ZIP to find three layers of asphalt over 1x skip sheathing, none of it meeting current code. The homeowner sees a simple replacement quote. We see a full tear-off, decking assessment, and likely upgrade to plywood or OSB. That’s the difference between a contractor who’ll be gone in spring and one who’s been here since 1984.
The Santa Ana winds create another local factor. Those winds hit the low-nailed eave courses typical of 1950s construction with uplift forces the original builders didn’t design for. We’ve re-nailed entire eave perimeters in neighborhoods where every third house showed the same pattern. Your neighbors’ roofs are the same age as yours. If theirs is failing, yours likely needs looking at too.

FAQs About Roofing in Lakewood
A full roof replacement on a typical single-story Lakewood ranch runs $12,000-$22,000, with most falling in the $15,000-$18,000 range once we account for the tear-off and any decking upgrades required by LA County code. Homes with multiple layered roofs or deteriorated skip sheathing trend toward the higher end. Call (844) 563-1816 for a free, exact estimate based on your specific roof.
Because Lakewood’s original 1950s construction used 1x skip sheathing, and because many homes accumulated two or three shingle layers during the 1970s and 1990s re-roofing booms, current LA County code requires complete removal and proper decking for any new installation. An overlay would violate code and mask structural problems. We assess this during every free inspection and show you the photos.
Most Lakewood calls receive same-day or next-day response, and our emergency line is staffed by a live person 24/7 including nights, weekends, and holidays. Active leaks get priority dispatch. If you’re catching water in a bucket right now, call (844) 563-1816 - we’ll get someone out.
Repair makes sense when the damage is isolated, the roof is under 15 years old, and the decking is sound. Replacement is the better investment when you’re looking at widespread granule loss, multiple leak points, or any roof approaching 20-25 years on Lakewood’s UV-exposed, low-slope planes. We’ll give you an honest assessment either way, no pressure. Our free second opinion applies if you’ve already gotten another estimate.
Yes. We maintain a permanent 5% senior and veteran discount on all services, no expiration, no gimmicks. Combined with our $89 seasonal tune-up, it’s a straightforward way to stay ahead of problems on a fixed income. Mention it when you call (844) 563-1816.
