Fast, Reliable Roofing Across Marina del Rey
If you own property in Marina del Rey, you already know the salt air does not take a day off. Roof replacement here runs $8,000-$20,000 on most structures, and the marine layer means a small leak near a chase or parapet wall can turn into plywood rot faster than homeowners expect. We answer our own phone at (877) 610-1318, and our crews know the difference between a condo tower on Fiji Way and a townhome off Admiralty Way, because those two buildings do not wear the same way.
Marina del Rey’s mix of 1960s and 1970s condominium complexes, wood-frame apartments, and a handful of newer coastal builds means one roof plan does not fit every building. Our Roofing team has walked, measured, and repaired enough Marina del Rey properties to know which buildings are fighting salt-driven fastener corrosion, which ones have aging built-up torch-down systems, and which need an entirely new drainage plan before any shingle or tile touches the deck.
Tom Barrett founded Barrett & Sons in 1998, and he still shows up on job sites in Marina del Rey with his name on the truck and his cell number on the estimate. You will not get a call center, a rotating crew of strangers, or a price that changes between the quote and the final invoice. What you get is a written scope, a written change order if anything shifts, and a roof that gets inspected and signed off properly.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is Marina del Rey’s Preferred Roofing Company
We have earned our reputation in Marina del Rey one roof at a time, and a lot of that work comes from neighbors telling neighbors. When you work on enough buildings in the 90292 and 90295 zip codes, you learn that a roof near Basin D does not drain the same as a roof near the Ballona Creek channel edge. Water wants to sit in different places, and the salt wants to eat different things. That local knowledge is not something a distant franchise can fake.
Every roofing job we take in Marina del Rey starts with a written scope and ends with a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. That promise is printed on the contract, not suggested in a sales conversation. If something is not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call. That is the standard, and it has been since before most national roofing brands had a local sales rep.
We also do something in Marina del Rey that a surprising number of out-of-town roofers do not: we check the ground-leash situation before we touch a structural roof. A significant portion of Marina del Rey parcels sit on LA County ground leases rather than fee-simple land. That means structural work often requires county lessor sign-off, and the contractor who skips that step creates a legal mess the homeowner inherits. We handle that verification as part of the job, not as a surprise after demo starts.
Crews You Can Actually Account For
Tom’s sons run the crews on most of our Marina del Rey jobs. These are background-checked, uniformed people who carry the Barrett & Sons name. If a neighbor asks who is walking up on your roof, there is an answer that checks out. That matters when you live in a community where people actually look out their windows and notice who is working up top.
Our Roofing Services in Marina del Rey
Roof Repair
Roof repair in Marina del Rey typically lands between $400 and $1,800 depending on what is failing. We see a lot of flashing failures around scuppers and parapet walls on older condominium buildings, plus underlayment wear on townhome roofs where the original install from the 1970s or 1980s was never upgraded for modern drainage. When you call us about a leak, we walk the roof before we quote. We do not sell repairs from a drone photo and a satellite image.

Roof Replacement & Installation
Full roof replacement in Marina del Rey runs $8,000-$20,000 for most projects. What moves that number: the size of the deck, the number of roof penetrations, whether the building requires crane access for tear-off, and what the current underlayment condition tells us once we peel back the old material. On mid-rise concrete-frame buildings along Mindanao Way and Lincoln Boulevard, access logistics alone can change a bid by thousands, which is why our written estimates account for that before work starts, not after.

Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation in Marina del Rey carries a wider range: $15,000-$40,000. That reflects both material cost and the reality of coastal code requirements. Standing seam metal holds up well against salt air when it is installed with stainless or epoxy-coated fasteners, and it is a smart choice for buildings that face direct ocean influence near the Marina del Rey harbor mouth. We install metal systems with the right underlayment for a marine environment, because the wrong combination fails quietly from the inside.

Tile Roofing
Tile roof repair in Marina del Rey generally costs $600-$2,500 depending on how many tiles are cracked, whether the underlayment is compromised, and whether the roof pitch is walkable. A lot of older Marina del Rey apartment buildings were originally done in clay or barrel tile, and forty-plus years of coastal moisture makes the underlayment the weak point more often than the tile itself. We can match tile profiles on most of those original installations and consolidate repair with underlayment replacement where it makes sense.

Trusted Brands We Service in Marina del Rey
We install and repair systems from GAF and CertainTeed, which means the materials on your Marina del Rey roof have names you can look up and warranties you can actually enforce. For hardscape-adjacent roof decks and terrace pavers incorporated into rooftop living spaces, we also work with Belgard and Techo-Bloc products. Those pavers matter on the coastal buildings where the roof is also the balcony deck, because salt and standing water punish cheap materials quickly. We keep common stock accessible for Marina del Rey jobs, so a tile match or underlayment roll does not stall a repair for a week while someone waits on a regional warehouse.
Common Roofing Problems We See in Marina del Rey Homes
- Salt-driven fastener corrosion. The marine layer and direct Pacific exposure accelerate chloride attack on metal connectors, nails, and flashing. We regularly find roofs in the 90292 zip where fasteners have turned to dust while the shingle still looks presentable from the street.
- Flat and low-slope drainage failures. Many 1960s-1980s Marina del Rey buildings use built-up or torch-down systems on nearly flat decks. A clogged scupper near a parapet wall is not just an inconvenience here; it turns into ponding water, then membrane deterioration, then interior damage.
- Aging underlayment under tile. Tile itself can last decades, but the felt underlayment beneath it was never meant to go 50 years in salt air. On original Marina del Rey tile roofs, we see underlayment failing from the inside while the tile above still looks fine.
- Ground-leash-related repair delays. This one is unique to communities like Marina del Rey where a large share of parcels sit on county ground leases. A roofer from outside the area will miss that a structural repair needs lessor sign-off, and the project stalls mid-tear-off. We run that title verification as step one.
Pricing for Roofing in Marina del Rey, CA
Roof repair in Marina del Rey runs $400-$1,800. Tile roof repair lands between $600 and $2,500. Full roof replacement sits at $8,000-$20,000, and a new metal roof ranges $15,000-$40,000.

Call (877) 610-1318 and we will schedule a walk-through.

FAQs - Roofing in Marina del Rey
We answer our phone live, 24/7, and we can usually get a crew member to Marina del Rey within a day for a roof evaluation. Emergency leak situations near the marina get priority, because saltwater intrusion does not wait. Call (877) 610-1318 and talk to a person, not a voicemail tree.
Yes, we cover all of Marina del Rey including the 90292 and 90295 zip codes. That means the condo towers along Fiji Way, the townhome clusters near Admiralty Way, the apartments along Lincoln Boulevard, and everything in between. If you are inside Marina del Rey, you are inside our service area.
Most of the time, yes, and for reasons that are specific to this community. Access on mid-rise buildings, crane requirements, ground-leash verification, and the LA County DPW plus California Coastal Commission approval layer all add cost that a roofer in Redondo Beach or Hawthorne may not carry on a comparable job. That is not an excuse for padding a bid; it is the reality of building here. Our written line-item quotes show you exactly where the money goes, and every price change arrives as a written change order.
Structural roof work in Marina del Rey generally runs through LA County DPW because the community is unincorporated, and because it sits in the California Coastal Zone, many structural projects also require a Coastal Development Permit from the California Coastal Commission. We pull the permits and the inspections are signed before we call the job complete. The permit inspector works for you, not for me.
Every roofing job we complete in Marina del Rey carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something is not done right, Tom comes back and makes it right with one call. That sits on top of the manufacturer warranties from GAF or CertainTeed on the materials themselves. If your roof has a problem inside that window, you will not be chasing a subcontractor or a rotating service line.
For a free roofing estimate in Marina del Rey, call (877) 610-1318 today. We answer, we listen, and we give you a written price before any work moves forward.
