Fast, Reliable Roofing Across West Hills
Roof replacement in West Hills typically runs $8,000 to $20,000, and most repairs come in between $400 and $1,800. We’re Barrett & Sons Construction, a family-operated company that’s been fixing and replacing roofs since 1998. When a roof starts leaking in West Hills, it’s rarely a small problem by the time you notice it. Santa Ana winds peel back shingles along the Simi Hills edge, summer heat bakes underlayment until it cracks, and embers from brush fire season find every weak point in a roof’s armor. We know West Hills because we’ve worked it street by street for nearly three decades. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free estimate from a contractor who answers his own phone.
Why Barrett & Sons Construction Is West Hills’s Preferred Roofing Company
We’re not a franchise with a rotating van and a call center in another state. Tom Barrett’s sons run the crews, and Tom is personally on most West Hills jobs before the first bundle of shingles comes off the truck. That’s how we’ve built a reputation on the west edge of the Valley: neighbors who watched us replace a roof on Roscoe Boulevard tell the folks up on Saticoy, and the name spreads. We pull permits on every eligible roof, pass every inspection, and write every price change on paper before work proceeds. In a place like West Hills, where the wrong roof can mean the difference between a home that survives a wind event and one that doesn’t, that kind of accountability matters.
Calls to our office are answered by a live person 24/7. Not a voicemail box. Not an out-of-state answering service. When a West Hills homeowner finds water coming through the ceiling at midnight, they don’t want to leave a message. They want an answer. We give that. Our Roofing team carries GAF and CertainTeed materials you can look up by name, and every job includes a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If something isn’t right, Tom comes back and makes it right. One call.
Our Roofing Services in West Hills
Roof Repair
Most West Hills roof repairs fall between $400 and $1,800, depending on what’s failed. We see popped nails, cracked flashing, and wind-torn shingles more than anything else, especially after a strong Santa Ana event. The repaired section is matched to your existing roof, so you won’t end up with a patch job that looks like a patch job. For roofs damaged by fire or wind, we work with insurance adjusters and document everything before, during, and after.

Roof Replacement & Installation
A full roof replacement in West Hills runs $8,000 to $20,000, and the two biggest variables are square footage and whether your home sits in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Chapter 7A requirements apply to most properties along the Simi Hills interface, and that changes the math on materials. We walk you through exactly what your property requires before quoting, by name and by line item. No allowances hidden in fine print. No surprises at the end.

Metal Roofing
Metal roof installation in West Hills runs $15,000 to $40,000, and it’s a smart choice for this climate. Standing seam metal shrugs off 50 mph gusts that tear architectural shingles, and it doesn’t cure or crack the way asphalt does after fifteen summers in the Valley bowl. For hillside homes facing ember risk, a Class A metal roof is a legitimate fire-hardening upgrade. We install standing seam and corrugated systems sized for the slope and wind load of your specific lot.

Tile Roofing
Barrel tile and flat tile roofs are common in West Hills, particularly on the ranches and Spanish-style homes built between the 1960s and early 1980s. Tile roof repair here runs $600 to $2,500, and the failures usually aren’t the tiles themselves but the underlayment and flashing underneath them. A cracked tile looks like the problem; the rotted felt beneath it is the real headache. We source matching tile so older homes don’t end up with a mismatched section that screams “repaired” from the curb.

Common Roofing Problems We See in West Hills Homes
- Wind-lifted shingles along the Simi Hills edge. Santa Ana events regularly push 50 to 60 mph through the mountain passes at the western end of the Valley, and that wind finds every shingle with a weak nail. Once the first shingle lifts, the next event pulls three more.
- Cracked underlayment from valley-bowl heat. West Hills gets hotter than coastal LA, and that heat accelerates underlayment failure on asphalt roofs installed before modern synthetic felts were standard. The shingles look fine, but the layer underneath is brittle and leaking.
- Ember-damaged roof components. The 2018 Woolsey Fire taught West Hills homeowners a hard lesson about ember intrusion. Hundreds of roofs suffered damage even when flames never reached the house, because embers landed in leaf-filled gutters, crawl spaces, and unscreened vents.
- Failed flashing on older ranch-style tract homes. West Hills is full of post-WWII ranches built between the late 1950s and early 1980s. The original flashing around chimneys, skylights, and valleys is decades past its useful life on many of these houses, and it’s the most common leak point we repair.
Pricing for Roofing in West Hills, CA
Here’s what you can expect to pay for roofing in West Hills. Roof repair runs $400 to $1,800 on typical jobs. Full roof replacement runs $8,000 to $20,000 for standard homes, with tile and metal systems at the higher end of that range or above. Metal roof installation specifically runs $15,000 to $40,000, and tile repair runs $600 to $2,500. The single biggest variable in West Hills is fire zone compliance: if your home is in the VHFHSZ boundary, you’ll need Class A materials, ember-resistant vents, and possibly a full underlayment replacement under Chapter 7A. That’s real cost, and we’ll tell you before we quote, not after. Call (877) 610-1318 for a free, written, line-by-line estimate.

FAQs - Roofing in West Hills
We coordinate from our Los Angeles office and have crews working West Hills on a regular schedule, so most emergencies in the 91307 and 91308 ZIP codes get a same-day or next-morning response when the job is urgent. Call us and a live person will tell you exactly when a crew can be on site. No call center estimating.
Yes, we cover all of West Hills, including hillside lots along the Simi Hills where slope and access add complexity. Properties in the LA County Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone require Chapter 7A-compliant materials, and we quote those requirements upfront, by name and by code section. We don’t quote a flatland roof for a hillside house.
Yes. When a Santa Ana event tears through West Hills, we prioritize emergency tarping and leak mitigation for existing customers first, then open up for new storm-damage calls. Call (877) 610-1318 and we’ll walk you through stopping the leak immediately, then schedule the permanent repair. Free estimates on all storm work.
Sometimes yes, and the reason is fire zone compliance. A home in the VHFHSZ inside 91307 or 91308 can need Class A roofing, ember-resistant vents, and upgraded underlayment that the same-sized house in parts of Woodland Hills outside the fire boundary wouldn’t require. That adds thousands in material cost. We’ll show you the code trigger on your property and explain every dollar.
Every roofing job comes with a written 90-Day Done Right Promise that covers workmanship, plus the manufacturer’s material warranty on the products we install. If something fails within that window, Tom Barrett comes back and makes it right. One call, no runaround. His name, address, and license number are published and verifiable.
