Owens Corning Roofing in Hollywood, CA | Marquis Roof Repair
Marquis Roof Repair provides independent Owens Corning roofing installation, repair, and replacement across Hollywood and nearby areas like Owens Corning in Universal City, from the flat-roofed courtyard apartments off Franklin Avenue to the hillside homes above the Boulevard. We’ve worked on Owens Corning systems in the 90028 ZIP code long enough to know how UV intensity and concentrated winter rains stress shingle and underlayment differently here than in any neighboring city. If you need an honest assessment of an Owens Corning roof in Hollywood, call (866) 705-2978.
We carry genuine Owens Corning Duration® and Oakridge® shingles, plus WeatherLock® underlayments, and our installers know how these materials behave on Hollywood’s specific roof types, including the original clay barrel tile and tar-and-gravel systems that still dominate much of this neighborhood. For more on our broader brand coverage and service philosophy, see our Owens Corning sales & service page. As an independent contractor, we are not affiliated with or authorized by Owens Corning, but we install and repair their products with the same rigor the manufacturer’s warranty documentation requires.
Why Hollywood Residents Choose Us for Owens Corning Service
Ron Thibodeau, our owner, grew up in nearby Burbank’s Magnolia Park neighborhood, where his uncle ran a general contracting business and taught him an early lesson: good work announces itself, and shortcuts always surface eventually. That principle shapes how we approach Owens Corning in West Hollywood and throughout Hollywood. We don’t guess at a leak. We trace it.
Owens Corning shingles and underlayments are manufactured to consistent specifications, but Hollywood tests them in ways a spec sheet can’t capture. Intense summer UV bakes south-facing slopes to temperatures that degrade fiberglass mats prematurely. Winter rains arrive in concentrated bursts, so small flashing failures become visible ceiling stains within a single storm. Courtyard buildings from the 1920s and 1930s bring a set of conditions we know well: original steel flashings that rust through, rolled roofing on low slopes, and parapet walls that shed water straight into the building envelope. We arrive knowing what to look for.
Homeowners in Hollywood choose us because we service the entire Owens Corning roof as a system, not a patch of torn shingles. We also serve the broader Hollywood area; if you’re checking coverage, our Hollywood service area page shows where our crews work.

Common Owens Corning Roofing Problems We Solve in Hollywood
- Duration® granule loss and mat degradation on south-facing slopes. The Hollywood Hills and the exposed apartment buildings along Franklin Avenue see relentless UV from May through October. Duration® shingles hold up well generally, but on south-facing pitches with no shade, we often find granule loss exposing the fiberglass mat years before the warranty clock would suggest. Mat degradation means the shingle can’t hold a repair; we’ll tell you honestly when patching is a waste of money.
- Oakridge® adhesive strip failure during Santa Ana winds. This is a repeat pattern on 1920s to 1940s Spanish Colonial Revival buildings in Hollywood. The Oakridge® line uses a heat-activated adhesive seal, and if the shingles were installed in cool weather or on a low slope that never gets hot enough to activate the bond, Santa Ana wind events peel shingles back at the leading edge. Missing shingles then create openings for the next winter storm.
- WeatherLock® underlayment wrinkles in attic heat. On hot flat sections and beneath tile roofs over enclosed attics, we have found WeatherLock® products that wrinkled or bridged away from the deck. Once the underlayment loses contact, water running beneath tile or shingles can travel along those channels and find a nail hole or seam. The first big winter storm then turns a small wrinkle into an interior leak.
- Flashing failures at rooftop HVAC curbs and sign mounts. Hollywood Boulevard and Franklin Avenue apartment buildings carry billboard frames, signage, film lighting mounts, and HVAC equipment curbs on nearly every flat roof. The most common call we take in 90028 is a leak that traces to a flashing detail at one of these penetrations, not to a worn field membrane. Usually the Owens Corning shingles on the adjacent pitched section are fine; the flashing is not.
- Original clay barrel tile over skip sheathing with failed valley flashings. In 1920s courtyard buildings, the tile often sits on spaced boards, not solid decking. The valley metal underneath rusts, and once water bypasses it, the ceiling below gets wet. Repairing this correctly means lifting tile without breaking it, replacing the valley, and installing an appropriate water barrier, using WeatherLock® where suitable and a tile-specific membrane where direct tile adhesion is required.
Owens Corning Service in Hollywood: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Roof
Hollywood has a specific architectural and regulatory reality that distinguishes it from every other city we serve. A large share of multifamily housing in the flats is rent-controlled, and many buildings sit within landmark-adjacent review zones. That means when an Owens Corning roof on a 1928 courtyard building needs work, the tile has to match the existing red clay barrel profile, and the parapet detailing has to stay architecturally consistent. We deal with that every month.
Here’s the detail most roofers miss. Many of those 1920s courtyard apartment buildings have original red clay barrel tile over skip sheathing, and when that tile is reinstalled after a leak repair, Owens Corning’s shingle underlayments aren’t rated for direct tile adhesion. The asphalt base in WeatherLock® and similar products is not designed to sit under the weight and movement of clay tile without a separation layer. So we use one. Either a slip sheet or we switch to a tile-specific membrane. This is not a theoretical concern. It is the difference between a repair that holds through a Hollywood winter and one that leaks again by February. That detail is why we opened this service area page with a promise about how these materials actually perform.
We were called to a 1928 Spanish Colonial Revival fourplex near Franklin Avenue and Vista Del Mar after a winter storm soaked a first-floor ceiling. The roof had original clay barrel tile over skip sheathing, and the leak traced to a failed valley flashing. We carefully lifted the tile, removed the rusted metal, installed new copper valley flashing, laid Owens Corning WeatherLock® underlayment as a secondary water barrier, and reinstalled the tile over new battens. The leak stopped, the building looked the same, and the tiles stayed intact. That’s how we handle historic Hollywood roofs.
Owens Corning Models & Products We Service in Hollywood
Our crews install and repair the full Owens Corning asphalt shingle range: Duration® Series including Duration® Premium Cool and Duration® Designer, Oakridge®, and TruDefinition® Duration® shingles. We also work with WeatherLock® underlayments for roof systems that benefit from a secondary water barrier, notably under asphalt shingles and as a temporary protection layer on Hollywood tile re-roofs.
When a repair requires parts, we start with genuine Owens Corning materials that match the existing system. If a flashing situation calls for a different product, such as a stainless or copper detail on a parapet wall or sign mount, we’ll use the material that actually solves the problem and say so plainly. Stocking standard Owens Corning shingle colors and WeatherLock® rolls locally means most Hollywood repairs don’t wait on a supply house order.

AfterOwens Corning Service Pricing in Hollywood
- Roof inspection: $95 – $250, sometimes folded into the repair quote if work moves forward.
- Small shingle repair: $350 – $650, depending on access and pitch.
- Flashing repair at a penetration, HVAC curb, or sign mount: $500 – $1,500, driven by the number of curbs and whether coping removal is required.
- Full Owens Corning re-shingle on a typical Hollywood pitched roof: $9,500 – $18,000, varying with square footage, tear-off layers, and the duration of access for hillside equipment.
What moves the number in Hollywood more than material cost is access. Hillside lots often need a crane or extended conveyor, and flat roofs that double as equipment platforms take longer to detach and re-flash. Our estimate is a written, line-item quote. Call (866) 705-2978 to schedule a free estimate, and we’ll show you exactly where the money goes before you commit to anything.

FAQs – Owens Corning Roofing in Hollywood
Yes, in most cases. We stock the common Duration® color blends and can order discontinued or long-tail colors from our supply house within a few days. Weather exposure will have faded your existing shingles, so a perfect match is not always possible, but we’ll show you samples on the roof before any work is done. Call (866) 705-2978 if you have a specific color you’re worried about matching.
Most of the time, yes. Leaks at sign mounts are flashing failures, not membrane failures, and we fix them by stripping back the roofing around the penetration, replacing the flashing with new metal, and reinstalling a watertight seal. If the surrounding membrane has aged to the point where it can’t be re-adhered, we’ll tell you that too and show you the affected area. Call (866) 705-2978 and we’ll have someone out to look.
WeatherLock® is an excellent secondary water barrier under asphalt shingles. Under clay tile over skip sheathing, it can function as a secondary barrier when used correctly, but it is not rated for direct tile adhesion. When we reinstall clay barrel tile, we install a separation layer or use a tile-specific membrane to prevent premature wear and adhesion failure. That small step saves the tile system from repeated leaks.
Yes, and we frame the quote around slope access first. Steep pitches above Beachwood Canyon or around Lake Hollywood often need ladders, scaffolding, or equipment staged from the street, and that affects scheduling and cost before a single shingle goes down. The Owens Corning product choice matters too, Duration® handles slope and wind better than basic three-tab, which is often all a bid from a generalist includes.
The only way to know with confidence is to inspect, and our inspections are methodical. We look for granule loss in the gutters, lifted shingles, soft decking around penetrations, and any sign of underlayment failure at the eaves or valleys. If the fiberglass mat under the granules is degrading, patching is wasted money, and we’ll show you exactly what that looks like on your roof. An inspection costs up to $250, and we credit it toward any repair we quote. Call (866) 705-2978 and we’ll schedule yours.
