Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Florence-Graham
Roof replacement in Florence-Graham calls for a crew that understands tight lots, shared fence lines, and homes built between the 1920s and 1950s. That’s the stock we work on week after week. We’re not a general contractor dabbling in roofing. Select Roof Repair is a roofing-only outfit, and our Roof Replacement crews know how to stage on a street where driveways barely fit one car and the gap between houses is measured in feet, not yards. If your roof is failing, call (855) 382-0485 for a free estimate. We’ll walk it, price it straight, and give you a written line-item quote before anything gets torn off.
Why Select Roof Repair Is Florence-Graham’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company
Florence-Graham homeowners call us because we match the material to the house, not to whatever’s sitting in our yard. Noel Carrasco built Select Roof Repair around a seven-brand portfolio: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That matters here because a 1920s low-pitch bungalow on a 90001 lot often needs a different product than a 1950s duplex with a converted garage. We stock and install across the range, so the recommendation follows the roof, not our inventory sheet.
We also offer standalone inspections. You can get a professional assessment of your roof’s remaining life without committing to a single sheet of shingle. That’s the honest first step, and it’s how we’d want a tradesperson to treat us. Our response time to Florence-Graham is same-week for estimates, and we schedule tear-offs around alley access and neighbor notification, which we’ll get into below. You’ll talk to roofers, not salespeople.
Styles & brands we work with
Roof Replacement Contractor in Florence-Graham
A Roof Replacement Contractor in Florence-Graham does more than swap old shingles for new. The job here usually starts with an assessment of the existing decking, because many of these 1920s-1950s homes still have skip sheathing – boards spaced apart, never designed to hold modern shingle nails tightly. A full replacement in Florence-Graham typically runs $9,500 to $18,000 depending on roof size, pitch, decking condition, and access. Steep or cut-up roofs run higher. Low-slope built-up roofs with multiple add-on penetrations run higher still.
Full Tear-Off and Decking Replacement
Older Florence-Graham homes often need the old roof stripped to the rafters and skip sheathing replaced with solid OSB or plywood. That’s the only way new shingles will lay flat and hold. We quote decking replacement per sheet, so you know the math before we start.
New Construction and Additions
If you’re adding a room or converting a garage into living space, the new roof has to tie into the old one correctly. Flashing at the intersection is where most leaks start. We handle new construction roofing on its own, with the same seven-brand material selection.
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Florence-Graham
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Florence-Graham is the most common job we do here. The housing stock is overwhelmingly shingle-and-stucco, and the Los Angeles Basin sun bakes asphalt shingles fast. A standard asphalt or architectural shingle replacement in Florence-Graham runs $7,500 to $14,000 for a typical one-story bungalow. Architectural shingles like GAF Timberline HDZ or CertainTeed Landmark add $1,500 to $3,000 over three-tab, but they last longer and handle the low-pitch roofs common in this area better.
Architectural Shingle Upgrades
Architectural shingles give a dimensional look and better wind-uplift numbers, which matters on tight lots where a neighbor’s roof is three feet from yours. If your roof is pushing 20 years, this is usually the upgrade we suggest.
Flat and Low-Slope Roofing
Many Florence-Graham duplexes and add-on rooms have near-flat sections that asphalt shingles can’t handle. We install built-up roofing and modified bitumen systems on those areas, often tied into shingle sections with proper flashing at the transitions.
Trusted Brands We Service in Florence-Graham
We install and service CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, and Atlas products, among others. Because we’re not locked into one manufacturer’s contract, we can pick the right shingle for your roof pitch, your budget, and the sun exposure on your side of the street. We keep common architectural shingle colors in the local supply chain, which means faster turnaround for Florence-Graham homeowners once we settle on a product. You get a curated recommendation, not a default.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Florence-Graham Homes
- Tear-off debris landing on neighboring roofs. When houses sit six feet apart, a shingle tear-off becomes a two-property job. We tarp adjacent roofs and walls before we start, and we hand-carry debris to the truck down gangways instead of throwing it over the fence.
- Flashing failures at add-on rooms and converted garages. Florence-Graham has decades of informal additions. The seam where an add-on roof meets the original roof is a classic leak point. We reflash every transition during replacement, not just the ones that look bad.
- Inadequate ventilation on low-slope and shallow-pitch roofs. Many older bungalows have no ridge vent or soffit airflow. That heat buildup shortens shingle life and bakes the decking. We address ventilation during replacement so the new roof lasts longer.
- Skip sheathing that won’t hold modern fasteners. We see it on nearly every pre-1950 home here. New shingles on skip sheathing means nail pops and lifted edges. The fix is new decking, and we’ll show you the condition of the old boards before we quote it.

AfterPricing for Roof Replacement in Florence-Graham, CA
Here’s the honest math for Florence-Graham. A simple one-story asphalt shingle replacement on a 90001 bungalow starts around $7,500. A full tear-off with decking replacement, architectural shingles, and new flashing on a cut-up roof with add-ons runs $12,000 to $18,000. Flat or built-up sections add $6 to $9 per square foot. Tight alley access that requires hand-carrying materials adds labor, usually $500 to $1,500 depending on distance from the truck to the roof. Every quote is line-itemed, so you’ll see exactly what you’re paying for. Call (855) 382-0485 to schedule a free estimate.
How Tight Lots Change a Florence-Graham Roof Job
Florence-Graham’s narrow lots and close-set houses are the defining factor on almost every roof replacement we do here. That’s not a throwaway line. It changes the staging, the labor, the cost, and the timeline. On a street where a 3-foot gangway is the only route to the back roof, a crew can’t back a trailer against the house and start throwing shingles up. Materials get hand-carried. Tarps go up on the neighbor’s roof before the first shingle comes off. Debris gets bagged and walked out, not dropped. That’s the job on a Florence-Graham lot, and it’s why we quote differently here than we would in a spread-out suburb with a wide driveway and a clear drop zone.
We also deal with the permit side of that density. Re-roofing a building that shares a wall with a duplex means notifying the adjacent owner before work starts. If you’re in a building with multiple units under one roof, the permit requires the full roof plane to be addressed, not just your side. We navigate that for you. On a 1920s bungalow near Florence Avenue, our crew had to hand-carry GAF Timberline architectural shingles down a 3-foot gangway because alley access was blocked. We tarped the neighbor’s roof just feet away to catch debris, replaced the skip sheathing with new decking, and installed a ridge vent and drip edge to improve ventilation and edge protection. That’s what a Florence-Graham replacement looks like, and it’s the kind of detail that doesn’t show up in a generic roofing brochure.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Florence-Graham
We tarp all adjacent roof planes, walls, and walkways before tear-off begins. Debris is bagged at the roof level and hand-carried to the truck, never thrown. On tight Florence-Graham lots, this is standard procedure, not an add-on. Call (855) 382-0485 and we’ll walk you through the process during your free estimate.
Unincorporated Florence-Graham falls under Los Angeles County permitting. You’ll need a reroof permit, and if your building is multi-family or shares a wall, the permit process includes neighbor notification or a full-roof-plane requirement. We pull the permits ourselves and pass inspections before you pay final invoice. It’s part of the job, not a surprise fee.
Yes. We handle shared-wall buildings regularly in Florence-Graham. The key is coordination: we confirm the property line, tarp the neighbor’s side, and schedule the work so both units stay watertight throughout. If the roof plane is continuous across both units, the permit will require the full plane to be addressed. We’ll explain what that means for your specific building before any work starts.
For low-slope sections (below 2:12 pitch), architectural shingles alone won’t do. We recommend built-up roofing or modified bitumen on those areas, sometimes paired with shingles on steeper sections. The choice depends on the roof’s pitch, sun exposure, and existing decking. We stock all of it, so the recommendation fits your roof, not our inventory. Call (855) 382-0485 for an exact recommendation and quote.
Hand-carrying materials down a gangway instead of loading from a truck adds labor. Expect an additional $500 to $1,500 on a typical Florence-Graham lot, depending on the carry distance and roof size. We’ll show you that line item in your written quote so it’s not a surprise. Estimates are free. Call (855) 382-0485 to schedule one.
Start With an Inspection, Then Decide
If you’re reading this, your roof is probably telling you something. Maybe it’s a stain on the ceiling, granules in the gutter, or shingles lifting at the edges. You don’t have to know the answer yet. That’s what the inspection is for. We’ll walk the roof, map the damage, and tell you straight whether repair buys you time or replacement is the smarter long-term call. No pressure, no commitment. Florence-Graham’s housing stock is solid, but the roofs are aging, and the sooner we look, the more options you’ll have. Call (855) 382-0485 to schedule your free estimate and inspection.
