Why Marquis Roof Repair Is Los Angeles’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company

Los Angeles homeowners come to us because we investigate before we recommend. Ron Thibodeau built Marquis Roof Repair around a simple discipline: diagnose the roof honestly, then let the homeowner decide between repair and Roof Replacement. Our Los Angeles customers tell us the same thing repeatedly. They had another contractor push a full tear-off before anyone climbed a ladder. We don’t work that way.

We’ve replaced flat tar-and-gravel roofs in Koreatown that had been recoated eight or nine times and were holding water like a pond. We’ve stripped old asphalt shingles off south-facing slopes in Silver Lake that had baked brittle under year-after-year of UV until they cracked at the slightest pressure. The reviews from Los Angeles homeowners consistently mention two things: we showed up when we said we would, and our crew left the jobsite cleaner than they found it. When you work on a 1920s bungalow with a three-foot side yard, there’s no room for sloppy staging. We plan every Los Angeles job around the lot itself, not around what’s convenient for the truck.

Flat Roof Replacement in Los Angeles

Flat Roof Replacement is the bread-and-butter work across Los Angeles’s pre-war housing stock. The 1920s through 1950s homes that fill South and Central LA ZIPs like 90001 through 90008 were almost all built with low-slope or built-up tar-and-gravel roofs. Those roofs take a beating here. Long dry summers bake the top layer until it alligators and cracks, then the first heavy winter rain finds every weak spot at once. Replacing one of these properly means stripping the old layers, inspecting the decking beneath, and installing a modern membrane system that won’t pond water the way the original did.

Stripping Layered Recoats

Most Los Angeles flat roofs we see have been coated repeatedly rather than replaced. Each recoating adds weight and hides damage. We remove every layer down to the decking before anything new goes on. That’s the only way to find the soft spots that have been soaking quietly for years.

Built-Up and Modified Bitumen Systems

For Los Angeles flat roofs, we typically install GAF modified bitumen or a tapered system that moves water to the drains instead of letting it sit. A flat roof replacement in Los Angeles usually runs $7,500 to $15,000 for a typical bungalow or small apartment court, with the final number depending on decking repair needs and roof access. Steep access costs money. We’ll map that out in the estimate, not spring it on you later.

Roof Installation in Los Angeles

Roof Installation for new construction or additions is different work entirely, and Los Angeles building density shapes it in ways other cities never see. On a new build in Echo Park or a second-story addition in Hollywood, the roof has to meet current Title 24 energy standards and fire-resistant assembly requirements that vary by hillside zone. We handle the full installation from decking through underlayment and the finished roof surface, pulling permits and coordinating inspections so the job doesn’t stall.

Fire-Resistant Assemblies in the Hills

Los Angeles hillside codes demand Class A fire-rated roofing materials in most brush zones. We install Atlas and Tamko products frequently for these jobs, both of which carry solid Class A ratings across multiple product lines. The right material for a hillside roof in Los Angeles is rarely the cheapest option. It’s the one that won’t ignite when embers land on it.

New Construction Roofing

A new construction roof installation in Los Angeles for a typical ADU or single-story addition runs $10,000 to $20,000 for framing inspection, decking, and finish materials. The variance comes from roof geometry. A simple gable is economical. A complicated hip roof with valleys and dormers costs more in labor and waste. We’ll quote it line by line so the number makes sense before you sign.

Trusted Brands We Service in Los Angeles

Marquis Roof Repair is authorized to install from seven major roofing manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That breadth matters in Los Angeles because no single brand makes the right product for every roof type here. For clay tile on a Spanish-revival in West Adams, we might recommend Boral. For a flat roof in Koreatown, GAF modified bitumen makes more sense. For sun-blasted shingle slopes in South LA, certain IKO and Atlas lines hold up exceptionally well under sustained UV. Seven manufacturer lines, one point of contact. We carry fast access to materials for Los Angeles jobs, so a delayed shipment from a distributor doesn’t stall your project for a week.

Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Los Angeles Homes

• Ponding on repeatedly recoated flat roofs: Years of coating layers create low spots that trap water after rain. The water sits, finds a seam, and works its way into the decking. By the time someone calls us, the roof is often heavier than it should be and the decking underneath is spongy.
• Improperly flashed party walls and parapets: Shared walls between neighboring bungalows and apartment courts get flashed incorrectly all the time. Water leaks into both units, and the dispute over who pays for the fix gets as ugly as the rot itself. We replace and flash these transitions properly on every job.
• Sun-baked asphalt shingles on south and west slopes: The Los Angeles sun is relentless. South-facing and west-facing slopes can lose years of service life compared to the rest of the roof. We see shingles that have cracked clean through, and the granules long since washed into the gutters.
• Staging chaos on lots with no driveway: Tight Los Angeles lots with no side setback often have nowhere to put a dump trailer or material pile. Contractors who don’t plan for this end up blocking sidewalks and getting cited. We coordinate lane closures or staged deliveries before the tear-off starts.
