Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Lawndale
Roof repair in Lawndale typically runs $400 to $1,800, and a full roof replacement on one of the 1950s tract homes that fill this city generally lands between $8,000 and $20,000. We work throughout 90260 and 90261, from the streets off Hawthorne Boulevard to the duplexes near Marine Avenue. Coastal humidity sits against everything we install here, so if you’ve got staining on a ceiling or granules collecting in a gutter, call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk it with you. Barrett & Sons Construction is owner-operated, founded in 1998, and Tom Barrett’s crews know Lawndale’s rooflines because they’ve been reworking them since before half the city’s original composition shingles gave out.
Key takeaways: most Lawndale roof repairs are completed same-week, all pricing arrives as a written change order before work begins, and every job is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. Free estimates. Permits pulled on every eligible replacement. No surprises at the end.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Lawndale’s Preferred Roofing Company
Lawndale homeowners call us because we answer the phone. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, seven days a week, not a voicemail box and not an out-of-state call center. That matters when a roof leak opens at 7 p.m. and you want to know who’s coming out. Tom Barrett publishes his name, his address, and his license number. Look us up before you sign anything.
Our crews work regularly across Lawndale, which means we already know what the permit counter at the Lawndale Community Development office is going to ask for before you file. That’s not something a contractor driving in from the other side of the county can say. It changes how fast the job moves, and it changes how accurate your estimate is on day one.
We’ve built our reputation in Lawndale one roof at a time, and our crews are background-checked and uniformed every visit. When you hire Barrett & Sons, you’re hiring Tom Barrett’s sons and their teams, not a rotating cast of subcontractors. The name on the truck is the name on the contract.
Our Roofing Services in Lawndale
Roof Repair
Most Lawndale roof repairs fall between $400 and $1,800 depending on what’s failed. We see a lot of lifted shingles along the eaves of 1950s homes along Grevillea Avenue, and plenty of cracked tile at entry overhangs where decades of marine air have worked into the underlayment. A repair estimate includes the full scope in writing before any material gets ordered.

Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in Lawndale runs $8,000 to $20,000. That range reflects roof size and slope, how many layers need to come off, whether the existing sheathing has rotted at the corners, and which material you choose. We install GAF and CertainTeed systems, and we don’t swap the allowance on you mid-project. Every allowance and every price change arrives as a written change order before a single nail moves.

Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation in Lawndale ranges from $15,000 to $40,000, and standing seam metal holds up particularly well against the persistent coastal moisture here, since there’s no organic material to delaminate. Homeowners on the north side of the city near the 405 appreciate that metal also helps with noise attenuation, which matters in the LAX noise contour zone.

Tile Roofing
Tile roof repair in Lawndale typically costs $600 to $2,500. The barrel and flat tile roofs on the postwar homes off Rosecrans Avenue and Inglewood Avenue take the UV exposure year-round without any seasonal break, and the underlayment underneath the tile is what fails first. We’ll match your existing tile profile rather than convincing you to replace the whole field when it doesn’t need it.

Trusted Brands We Service in Lawndale
We install GAF and CertainTeed roofing systems and carry the parts Lawndale customers actually need, which means faster turnaround when a section fails and you’re chasing a leak before the next marine-layer morning. When a homeowner asks about luxury systems, we point them toward GAF’s top lines because we can stand behind the material and the install together. A 90-Day Done Right Promise is written on every Barrett & Sons contract.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Lawndale Homes
- Moisture intrusion at low-slope sections. Lawndale’s original 1950s tract homes, many of them stucco singles and duplexes, often have built-up roof sections or nearly flat additions where moisture doesn’t drain the way a pitched field does. Marine-layer humidity means when the membrane gives out, rot follows fast. We check the low-slope areas first because that’s where Lawndale roofs fail first.
- Granule loss and shingle degradation. Lawndale sits 3 to 4 miles inland, but the coastal air and year-round UV still combine to break down asphalt shingles faster than inland cities. You’ll notice granules in the gutter or thin, dark patches on the south-facing planes. That’s not cosmetic; it’s the sign the surface is giving out.
- Rotted fascia and soffit boards. Wood rot at the edges is common on homes throughout 90260 and 90261 because humidity sits against the trim year-round. We often find the roof itself is sound, but the supporting boards under the drip edge are soft. That gets fixed before the new roofing goes on.
- Tile underlayment failure. On the tile roofs along the streets off Hawthorne Boulevard, the tile itself is often fine, but the felt or synthetic underlayment underneath has torn and is letting water through. We see this on homes from the early 1960s where the original underlayment simply reached the end of its life. The fix runs from $600 to $2,500 depending on how much field needs to be lifted and re-laid.
Pricing for Roofing in Lawndale, CA
Here’s what Lawndale homeowners can expect. A roof repair runs $400 to $1,800. Tile roof repair sits closer to $600 to $2,500 because matching tile and replacing underlayment takes more labor. A full roof replacement ranges from $8,000 to $20,000, and metal roof installation starts around $15,000 and can reach $40,000 for standing seam on a larger home. What moves the number is roof size, slope, how many layers have to come off, and whether your sheathing is sound. Lawndale’s coastal exposure means we usually replace more edge flashing and underlayment than we would elsewhere in the South Bay. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk the roof and hand you a written line-item estimate, not a vague number over the phone. Estimates are free, and there’s no trip charge inside the county.
We Also Serve Cities Near Lawndale
Our Roofing teams work throughout the South Bay, and we regularly drive from Lawndale into Marina del Rey, Hawthorne, Del Aire, and Alondra Park. If you’re a few miles over the line, call anyway; if we can’t come out, we’ll tell you straight and point you to someone who can. Homeowners doing full exterior upgrades often ask us to also handle Windows & Doors in Lawndale while we’re on the property, since the sequencing matters when you’re re-flashing and re-trimming openings. And after a Fence Installation in Lawndale wraps up, we’ll often coordinate with the roofing crew so the yard is finished in one visit instead of two.

FAQs - Roofing in Lawndale
Same-week scheduling is typical for roof repairs in Lawndale, and emergency storm or leak calls get prioritized. Calls are answered by a live person around the clock, so you’ll know on that first call when a crew can walk the roof. For a full replacement, the permitting process through Lawndale’s own Community Development office sets the timeline, and we file the paperwork the week you sign. Call (877) 610-1318 to lock in a date.
Yes. We work everywhere in 90260 and 90261, including the streets off Hawthorne Boulevard, the area around Marine Avenue, and the pockets near Rosecrans Avenue. Since Lawndale is only about 2 square miles, we’re never far. There’s no trip charge inside the county, and estimates are free regardless of which side of the city you’re on.
Roof repair in Lawndale runs $400 to $1,800, which is right in line with neighboring Hawthorne and Gardena. The difference is the permitting. Lawndale runs its own Community Development office with distinct review timelines and code interpretations, so a contractor unfamiliar with that process can stall a job a week or more. We file local permits regularly, and that’s already priced into your estimate, not added later as a “discovery.” Call for a written quote, and check the second-opinion offer below if you’re sitting on another bid.
Every completed roof from Barrett & Sons is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Tom Barrett comes back and makes it right, one call. That’s in addition to the manufacturer warranty on the materials, and we use GAF and CertainTeed systems that stand behind their own product lines. No fine print. The promise is written on the contract.
Not without you seeing it in writing first. Every scope, every allowance, and every price change arrives as a written change order before the work happens. If we open the roof and find rotted sheathing, you’ll get the new number on paper, with your signature required, before we proceed. That’s the Barrett & Sons way, and it’s why Lawndale homeowners who got burned by oral estimates elsewhere call us the second time around. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate, and remember: we offer a free second opinion on any written estimate you’ve already received, plus $40 off any repair over $200 and a permanent 10% senior and veteran discount.
