AfterFast, Reliable Roofing Across Century City
Roof work in Century City is not like roof work anywhere else in Los Angeles. Nearly every roof deck sits atop a high-rise condominium or office tower, which means every material choice, every color, and every scheduled crane lift has to clear an HOA architectural committee before we can even order panels. If you’re in 90067 and you need Roofing work done, you don’t need a crew that just knows shingles. You need a contractor who knows the boards, the elevator booking windows, and the concrete-and-steel realities of your building. Call Barrett & Sons at (877) 610-1318 and you’ll get Tom or one of his sons on the line, not a call center.
We’re owner-operated, founded in 1998, and we’ve done high-rise roof replacements, leak repairs, and standing seam metal installations all over this neighborhood. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and we pull permits on every eligible job. That matters when you’re ten floors up and a failed membrane is leaking into the unit below you.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Century City’s Preferred Roofing Company
Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. You can look it up. That’s the kind of thing that matters to the people who live in Century City’s towers, because the last contractor most of them used told them permits were optional and disappeared when the change order came due. We don’t work that way. Every scope change arrives as a written change order before work proceeds, and every completed job is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise, written on the contract, not buried in fine print.
Our crews know this neighborhood’s buildings. The Century, Park Place, The Carlyle, the twin towers on Avenue of the Stars: each one has its own management office, its own elevator booking system, and its own architectural-review calendar. We plan around those, not against them. A live person answers our phone 24 hours a day, and when you call about a roof leak in Century City, you’re talking to someone who knows the difference between a membrane tear on a penthouse deck and a failed scupper on a 1970s concrete tower.
We carry premium brands like GAF and CertainTeed, materials you can look up, not mystery products off a van. And we don’t send strangers. Background-checked crew members who carry the Barrett & Sons name show up in uniform on every visit. For high-rise work, that’s not a nicety. Building management notices.
Our Roofing Services in Century City
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Century City typically runs $400-$1,800 depending on the membrane type, deck access, and whether the leak has reached the concrete substrate. In the towers along Avenue of the Stars, we most often see aging single-ply membranes that have pulled away at parapet flashings or around roof drains. Because these decks sit above occupied luxury units, we use low-odor adhesive systems and schedule noisy work during the HOA’s permitted hours. A small repair today beats a ceiling replacement in the unit below you tomorrow.
Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Century City runs $8,000-$20,000 for a typical high-rise roof deck, and the biggest cost driver is not the membrane. It’s the logistics: crane lift, elevator booking, material staging, and the two to four weeks the architectural committee needs to approve materials and color. We file the submittal packet ourselves, including product data sheets, color samples, and a proposed work-hour schedule. Then we build the project calendar around the committee’s decision so the job never sits half-finished waiting on a board vote. For a penthouse at The Century on Avenue of the Stars, our crew replaced a failing roof membrane with a standing seam metal system after the HOA committee approved the material and color. We scheduled the crane lift and elevator booking windows around the committee’s two-week review, then completed the replacement in six working days with zero corridor downtime.
Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation in Century City runs $15,000-$40,000 and is almost always a standing seam system when it’s done right. The dominant glass curtain-wall architecture across the neighborhood means roof decks absorb serious solar heat, and a standing seam metal roof with a reflective coating outperforms older membrane systems by a wide margin on cooling load. We work with GAF and CertainTeed metal lines, and we can match the finish and color your HOA will require. The submittal process matters here more than anywhere: if you skip the committee’s material and color approval, you risk a stop-work order and a tear-off redo.
Tile Roofing
Tile roof repair in Century City runs $600-$2,500 and usually means cracked or displaced barrel tiles on the handful of buildings and small structures that use them, or specialty tile work on rooftops with amenity decks and planters. We stock common tile profiles locally so we’re not waiting on a freight order when a leak is active. For tile replacement we match the exact profile, color blend, and sheen, then submit samples to the building’s management office before installation. No surprises, no mismatched patch jobs.

Trusted Brands We Service in Century City
We install and service GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems, and we keep common sealants, fasteners, and membrane patch materials staged for Century City’s buildings. That means we don’t burn two days waiting on a warehouse delivery when your roof is leaking into the unit below. Our crews have worked with these brands for years and we can pull a product data sheet for any architectural submittal the same day you ask for it. If your committee wants a specific GAF membrane color, we get it approved before we order it, in writing.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Century City Homes
Here’s what we see on the job, over and over, in Century City specifically:
- Architectural submittal skipped or incomplete. This is the big one in 90067. A crew shows up with materials that were never approved, management finds out, and the committee issues a stop-work order. Then the homeowner pays for a tear-off and redo. We file the complete packet before anything gets ordered.
- Elevator and crane windows underestimated. Roof decks in Century City towers don’t have a driveway where you can park a material truck. Every panel, roll, and piece of flashing arrives by service elevator or crane, and those windows are booked weeks out. Miss the window and the deck sits exposed to weather.
- Parapet and scupper leaks on 1970s-era concrete towers. Older concrete decks settle and shift, especially in a seismic zone like this one. Flashing pulls away and water finds its way into the mechanical rooms and the units below. We chase the leak back to the source, not just the visible stain.
- Work-hour violations causing noise complaints. Century City’s high-rise buildings have strict sound rules, and a contractor who fires up a roofing torch at 7 a.m. gets the whole job shut down. We build the schedule around the HOA’s permitted hours from day one, and we tell management exactly when the noisy work happens.

FAQs - Roofing in Century City
Most Century City HOA architectural committees take two to four weeks to review and approve roof materials and colors, and we build that directly into the project calendar. We file the submittal packet ourselves and schedule material ordering and crane lifts around the committee’s decision, so the job does not sit half-finished waiting on a board vote. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through your building’s specific process.
No, the mandatory retrofit ordinance applies to certain older concrete office towers, not the roof decks of residential condominium buildings. That said, several of Century City’s 1960s and 1970s-era concrete buildings do share the same steel-and-concrete construction style, and we factor that into our load and attachment details whenever we work on those structures. If you’re not sure whether your building falls under the ordinance, we can help you check.
Yes, we submitt the exact manufacturer color chart, product data sheet, and a physical sample to your HOA committee and we don’t order material until the approval comes back in writing. Century City committees are used to working from GAF and CertainTeed spec sheets, and we know how to format the packet the way they want to see it. Call (877) 610-1318 for the details on your building’s requirements.
We schedule the work during the building’s permitted hours, use low-odor adhesives when possible, route materials through the service elevator on a pre-booked window, and keep the corridor and lobby sealed with floor protection. For active leaks, we prioritize locating the source and stopping the water, then schedule the permanent repair around the building’s noise rules. Nobody below the deck should know we’re there until the leak stops.
Yes. Many Century City towers use post-tensioned concrete decks, and you cannot simply core or anchor into them the way you would on a wood-framed roof. We review the structural drawings or coordinate with a licensed engineer before any penetration, and our attachment details are designed for concrete-and-steel roofs, not residential framing. The permit inspector works for you, not for me, and we pull permits on every eligible job.
