Roofing in Manhattan Beach - Written Price, Workmanship Warranty

Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Manhattan Beach

If your roof is leaking after a February storm rolled off the Pacific, or you’re standing on The Strand looking up at loose tiles on a 1950s beach cottage, you need a roofer who knows Manhattan Beach patch-by-patch. Most roof repairs in Manhattan Beach run $400 to $1,800, and a full replacement typically lands between $8,000 and $20,000 depending on roof size and material. We work the Sand Section, the Hill Section, the Tree Section, and every block between Highland Avenue and the water. Call (877) 610-1318 and Tom Barrett or one of his sons will pick up.

Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Manhattan Beach’s Preferred Roofing Company

Tom Barrett started this company in 1998 and he still answers his own phone. That matters here because Manhattan Beach roofing is not like roofing in Torrance or inland Redondo Beach. The salt air eats standard fasteners. The marine layer keeps underlayment damp for weeks at a time. And in the Sand Section, we’re often working on a roof with six inches of clearance to the neighbor’s stucco wall. We’ve run crews across Manhattan Beach long enough that the building department knows our paperwork, and our permit pull history is clean.

We don’t dispatch strangers. Tom’s sons run the crews, and every crew member is background-checked and uniformed. When a Manhattan Beach homeowner calls about a leak near Aviation Boulevard or a tile roof in the Hill Section, the person who answers knows what those streets look like. That’s the difference between a roofer who works *in* Manhattan Beach and one who just lists it on a website.

Our Roofing Services in Manhattan Beach

We handle the full Roofing scope across Manhattan Beach, but these four services cover most of what we’re called for in 90266 and 90267.

Roof Repair

Salt-laden coastal air means roof repairs in Manhattan Beach are usually about more than a missing shingle. We regularly find corroded flashing around chimneys and vents on homes east of Sepulveda, and cracked sealant at parapet walls on the flat-roof sections common in the Sand Section. A repair visit typically runs $400 to $1,800. We quote a fixed price before the first ladder goes up.

Roof Replacement & Installation

A full replacement in Manhattan Beach usually runs $8,000 to $20,000. On the original post-war cottages north of Rosecrans, we often find three layers of old roofing that all have to come off, and the decking underneath needs replacement too. For teardown-and-rebuild projects in the Sand Section, we install new roofing on three-story custom homes where the 30-foot height limit means every inch of roof profile is engineered, not improvised - and for homeowners expanding their footprint, we also offer our Home Additions & ADU in Manhattan Beach.

Metal Roofing

Metal roofs are gaining ground in Manhattan Beach because they handle the marine layer better than almost anything else. We install standing seam metal roofing that won’t rust out from salt spray the way basic galvanized panels do. Expect $15,000 to $40,000 for a full metal roof here, with the higher end reflecting the complexity of coastal-zone permitting and custom flashings many Manhattan Beach homes require.

Tile Roofing

Manhattan Beach has a deep inventory of Spanish and Mediterranean-style homes in the Hill Section with barrel tile roofs that are now 30 to 50 years old. Underlayment fails long before the tile does, and a tile roof repair in Manhattan Beach typically runs $600 to $2,500. We match existing tile profiles and colors, including weathered barrel tile, so the repair doesn’t announce itself from the street.

Trusted Brands We Service in Manhattan Beach

We install GAF and CertainTeed roofing products on Manhattan Beach homes because we can stand behind them, and because the homeowner can look them up before signing anything. No mystery brands off a van. We keep common flashing profiles, underlayment rolls, and tile match stock staged for Manhattan Beach addresses, which means a repair on a Sand Section beach cottage doesn’t wait on a warehouse in Carson. When the job calls for hardscape tie-ins around a roof drain or a new paver patio in Manhattan Beach, we can handle that too.

Common Roofing Problems We See in Manhattan Beach Homes

• Corroded flashing at penetrations. The salt air off the Pacific eats standard galvanized flashing in 10 to 15 years. We specify stainless-steel flashing on Manhattan Beach homes as a baseline, not an upsell, because the alternative is a leak inside the wall.
• Failed underlayment under tile roofs. The marine layer keeps tile roofs damp for weeks in June and July. Once the underlayment delaminates, water gets under the tile but looks fine from the ground. Hill Section homes from the 1960s and 1970s are at the point where this is common.
• Wind-lifted shingles on west-facing slopes. Homes on the west side of Manhattan Beach take direct wind off the water during winter storms. We see partial shingle loss and lifted flashing on coastal-facing roofs every season.
• Flat-roof ponding on Sand Section additions. Where additions push toward the 30-foot height limit, low-slope sections sometimes hold water after heavy rain. Proper tapered insulation and drainage are the fix, but only if they’re planned before the roof goes on.
