Full Roof Tear-Off and Repair in Los Angeles

On September 3, 2025, Roof Repairs CA arrived at 7145 Summitrose St in Los Angeles to undertake a complete roof tear-off and structural restoration. The existing roofing system was far beyond repair, with extensive damage to the shingles, underlayment, and decking. Our team began by stripping away the deteriorated roofing material, revealing widespread dry rot, split wood planks, and open sections exposing insulation and rafter bays.

The damage extended deeper than surface-level wear. Multiple areas of the decking had become unsafe, with large voids, holes, and softened boards. Before any new installation could begin, we reinforced the frame and replaced deteriorated wood across the entire structure. Our crew also replaced the damaged fascia board surrounding the perimeter of the roof to ensure structural stability and aesthetic consistency.

This kind of extensive repair demands not only skilled labor but also precise execution to ensure long-term performance. Every inch of exposed decking was carefully evaluated and rebuilt as necessary, creating a solid foundation for a new shingle roofing system to follow. The steep slope and narrow access points added to the complexity, but our crew executed the project efficiently and safely.
