Call (844) 563-1816

We know this neighborhood. The 91343 and 91393 ZIP codes cover a patchwork of 1950s-1970s stucco tract homes, many of them carrying the scars of rushed post-earthquake re-roofing from 1994-1996. That history matters. Those emergency roof jobs - installed under insurance pressure after the Northridge quake, with its epicenter just four miles west - are now hitting their 30-year failure threshold. We see the consequences weekly: corroded galvanized flashings, double-layered shingle systems that L.A. City code requires to be fully torn off, and thermal damage from Valley heat that coastal roofers simply don’t encounter. Our Roof Repair team treats every North Hills job with that context in mind.

Our Roof Repair Services in North Hills

Shingle Replacement

The San Fernando Valley’s heat-island effect pushes North Hills summer highs regularly to 103-108°F - far more destructive to asphalt shingles than coastal Los Angeles. We regularly find south- and west-facing slopes on homes near Nordhoff Street and along Sepulveda Boulevard where granule loss has progressed to bare fiberglass matting and thermal splitting has opened cracks straight through the shingle body. On a stucco tract home near Nordhoff Street, we found the south-facing slope had lost all granule tab adhesion from 108°F summers, and the post-quake flashing at the chimney saddle had rusted entirely through - rotting the sheathing and rafters underneath. We tore off both layers, installed GAF Timberline HDZ shingles, and replaced all flashings with stainless steel. A square deal: the price we quote is the price you pay.

Leak Repair

Leaks in North Hills rarely announce themselves dramatically. The distinctive pattern here involves chimney and parapet flashings that were repaired hastily after the 1994 earthquake using galvanized metal. That metal has now corroded through, and the leaks were hidden for years under successive interior paint layers. What looks like a minor flashing job frequently reveals rotted sheathing and damaged rafters at the chimney saddle - a scoping issue roofers in unaffected Valley cities rarely encounter at this frequency. We open the area, photograph the damage, and show you exactly what we’re dealing with before we proceed. Done right - and if it’s not, we make it right.

Flashing Repair

Flashing work is where North Hills’s unique history shows most clearly. The post-quake emergency re-roofing boom prioritized speed over longevity. Galvanized chimney flashings that made sense as a temporary fix in 1995 are now the dominant driver of active leaks in the neighborhood. Fall Santa Ana wind events funneling through the valley gaps routinely produce gusts above 50 mph that lift aging ridge caps and flashings on the neighborhood’s low-slope roofs, exposing fasteners to moisture and accelerating corrosion. We replace these compromised systems with stainless steel or copper flashings, properly counterflashed, and we inspect the underlying sheathing because we’ve learned - the hard way, on too many North Hills jobs - that the visible damage is rarely the whole story.

Flat Roof Patch

Many North Hills commercial buildings and older residential additions still carry tar-and-gravel built-up systems from the original construction era. These low-slope assemblies take a beating from both the Valley heat and the Santa Ana wind cycles. We patch with compatible modified bitumen or TPO systems, depending on the existing substrate, and we always check drainage patterns because standing water in North Hills’s occasional winter rains will find any weakness in the membrane.

Trusted Brands We Service in North Hills

We are authorized installers for GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral - and we stock parts and materials for all seven manufacturer lines at our local warehouse. That means faster turnaround for North Hills homeowners. If your roof was originally installed with Atlas Chalet shingles or a Tamko Heritage system, we can match the existing profile without forcing a full-color change or waiting two weeks for special order. For the post-quake re-roofs we’re now replacing, we often recommend GAF Timberline HDZ or CertainTeed Landmark shingles for their combination of wind resistance and granule adhesion in high-heat environments. We don’t substitute materials without your knowledge. The brand on the estimate is the brand on your roof.

Common Roof Repair Problems We See in North Hills Homes

• Corroded post-quake galvanized flashings. Roofers working North Hills consistently find that chimney and parapet flashings repaired hastily after the 1994 earthquake used galvanized metal that has since corroded through. The leaks were hidden for years under successive interior paint layers, so what looks like a minor flashing job frequently reveals rotted sheathing and damaged rafters at the chimney saddle.
• Thermal splitting and granule loss on south- and west-facing slopes. The San Fernando Valley’s heat-island effect pushes North Hills summer highs regularly to 103-108°F - far more destructive to asphalt shingles than coastal Los Angeles - causing accelerated granule loss and thermal splitting that opens cracks through the shingle body.
• Santa Ana wind damage to ridge caps and flashings. Fall Santa Ana wind events funneling through the valley gaps routinely produce gusts above 50 mph that lift aging ridge caps and flashings on the neighborhood’s low-slope roofs, exposing fasteners to moisture and creating entry points for the next rain.
• Double-layered shingle systems requiring full tear-off. A significant share of North Hills stock received a second roof layer after the ’94 quake, meaning many homes now carry double-layered systems that L.A. City code requires to be fully torn off before any new installation - a cost and complexity factor that single-layer neighborhoods don’t face.
