Barrett & Sons Construction has worked this neighborhood long enough to know what the 1950s and 60s buildings hide until they can’t hide it anymore. The crews that show up in West Hollywood are the same ones Tom Barrett sees on the job site most days. No franchise dispatcher, no out-of-state call center, no stranger at your door.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is West Hollywood’s Preferred Roofing Company

Tom Barrett founded this company in 1998, and his sons run the crews. That’s not marketing language. When you call about a roof in West Hollywood, you talk to someone whose family name goes on the work order. The difference shows up in the details: every price change comes as a written change order before any work moves forward, and every eligible job gets permits pulled and inspections signed. The inspector works for you, not for us. That’s exactly why we want him on the job.

West Hollywood presents a permitting situation that trips up plenty of contractors who mostly work through LADBS. The city runs its own plan-check queue and its own inspectors. A contractor who doesn’t know the WeHo building department’s habits will lose you weeks. We do know them. That familiarity matters when a roof needs to come off and go back on while rent-controlled tenants are still living underneath it.

Every completed job carries a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, one call brings Tom back. He lives close enough that he’d hear about it at the hardware store anyway. And yes, the reviews from West Hollywood customers hold their weight. We’re happy to point you to them. You can also look up the license number yourself. Tom publishes his name, his address, and his license on every estimate we write.

Our Roofing Services in West Hollywood

Roof Repair

Roof repair in West Hollywood usually means finding where water got into a 60-year-old structure that wasn’t built with modern flashing details. Small leaks around vents, pipes, or the edges of parapet walls are the most common calls we get from the courtyard bungalow complexes near Santa Monica Boulevard. We don’t patch over a problem and walk away. We open it up enough to see what actually failed, then put it back with materials that match the building’s construction.

Our Roofing team handles repairs on flat and low-slope roofs, tile, and composition shingle systems. In West Hollywood, the flat roofs on dingbat apartments collect standing water after heavy rain. That standing water finds every pinhole. The fix usually runs $400 to $1,800, and we’ll tell you the number in writing before we start.

Roof Replacement & Installation

A full roof replacement in West Hollywood runs $8,000 to $20,000 depending on the roof’s footprint, pitch, and how many layers need to come off first. A lot of the city’s 1950s and 60s apartment buildings have had two or three roofs layered on top of each other over the decades. West Hollywood requires tearing all of that off before a new system goes on. That’s more labor, but it’s the only way to get an honest read on the decking underneath.

If your building falls under the city’s mandatory soft-story retrofit program, the roof work often gets sequenced with the structural work or with West Hollywood Home Additions & ADU projects. We coordinate both scopes so you’re not paying twice for scaffolding and protection. Permits get pulled through West Hollywood’s building department, not through LADBS. That distinction alone saves weeks when you know how the city’s plan-check queue actually moves.

Metal Roofing

Metal roofs are showing up more often on West Hollywood’s mid-century modern homes and on commercial storefronts along Melrose and Robertson. Standing seam metal installation in West Hollywood typically runs $15,000 to $40,000. The cost is real, but so is the lifespan. A properly installed GAF standing seam system handles the summer UV load without the thermal cracking that tears up asphalt products over time.

West Hollywood’s summer heat is the quiet killer for roofing materials. From May through September, daytime temperatures bake roof surfaces to well over 130 degrees. Metal reflects a lot of that heat instead of absorbing it, which is why we’re seeing more property owners choose it when they replace a roof they plan to keep. The city’s low-slope commercial buildings and the rare single-family homes up in the hills both benefit from that reflective surface.

Tile Roofing

Tile roofs in West Hollywood show up mostly on the Spanish and Mediterranean-style buildings in the city’s 1920s and 30s courtyard complexes. Barrel tile repair in this market runs $600 to $2,500 depending on how many tiles need to be replaced and whether the underlayment has started to go. We keep a stock of barrel tile profiles local to Southern California so we’re not waiting three weeks on a special order from a manufacturer in another state.

Tile itself lasts. The underlayment underneath it does not. Most tile roof failures we see in West Hollywood are actually underlayment failures. Water gets under the tile, the felt rots, and the leak shows up inside before anyone can see a problem from the street. We inspect the whole system when we repair tile, not just the visible crack.

Trusted Brands We Service in West Hollywood

We don’t install mystery materials off the back of a van. The roofing work we do in West Hollywood uses GAF products when the job calls for composition shingle or standing seam metal. When a project involves tiling details or waterproofing interfaces with other trades, we work with Schluter systems because they hold up in Southern California’s wet-dry cycle. If you want to know what’s going on your roof, we’ll give you the brand names on the estimate. Look them up. Check the warranty. Call the manufacturer and ask about us. We stand behind what we install.

Common Roofing Problems We See in West Hollywood Homes

• Parapet wall leaks on 1950s dingbat apartments. These buildings were framed fast and cheap, and the transition between roof and parapet was rarely flashed the way we’d do it today. Water tracks down the stucco and shows up as peeling paint on the unit below.
• Expansive clay soil stress on drain lines and roof structures. The clay soils under hillside-adjacent lots in northern West Hollywood shrink all summer and heave all winter. That movement puts stress on roof drains, flashing, and even the structural connection between roof and walls.
• Standing water on flat roofs. Most multi-unit buildings in the 90069 zip have low-slope or flat roofs. When debris clogs a single drain, water ponds, finds a membrane seam, and the leak begins. Regular drain clearing prevents most of these calls.
• Old masonry chimneys with open mortar joints. The courtyard bungalow complexes from the 1920s and 30s often have unreinforced masonry chimneys. Water gets into the mortar, freezes and thaws through our winter rain cycle, and the chimney starts crumbling from the top down.
