Tell us about your roof replacement, repair, leak, or solar-ready roofing project. A HUS team member can review your request and contact you about the next step.
Home Upgrade Specialist lists CSLB #1055444 for roof replacement and repair projects in Los Angeles and Orange County, including asphalt shingle, tile, metal, and cool roofs. Because we also hold solar and battery licenses, one coordinated project process can review roof replacement and solar-ready scope together where appropriate. Homeowners coordinating roofing with HVAC, solar and battery work can use our primary Los Angeles HVAC, solar and roofing company guide. If you are comparing timing, review our guide to roof replacement before solar in Los Angeles before installing panels.
Roofing estimate checklist: before approving a bid, confirm material type, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, tear-off layers, decking repair process, permit responsibility, cleanup, warranty terms, solar readiness and whether gutters, fascia, skylights or electrical conduit are included.
Original HUS installation photography shows tear-off, exposed roof decking and underlayment work. These are project stages, with the roof condition and next steps documented as work progresses.
Installation photographs show work in progress. They do not establish final inspection, utility permission to operate or energy-production results.
A roofing scope is easier to compare when the inspection findings, materials, hidden-condition process and warranty responsibilities are documented. Ask HUS and every contractor the following questions before approving the work.
A leak alone does not establish that the entire roof must be replaced. Ask which inspection findings support repair or replacement, what areas were inspected, and what remains concealed. Compare the extent of damage, material condition, expected repair scope and any upcoming solar work. Share photographs only from safe locations; roof access and inspection should be left to qualified people.
The proposal should explain the treatment of tear-off layers, concealed damage and decking repairs before work starts. Ask for any allowance, unit pricing where applicable, documentation of findings and the written change-order process. These items are not automatically included or excluded: the project-specific agreement must say how additional work is priced and approved.
Material and workmanship warranties are different. Request the actual terms and identify responsibility for installation, flashing, penetrations, skylights, gutters and later work by other trades. Coverage depends on the cause, product and written warranty. This page does not create or extend coverage; your project documents and applicable warranty terms control.
Keep with your project records: preconstruction photos, the material and underlayment schedule, documented decking findings, flashing and drainage details, permit and inspection records where required, and the product and workmanship warranties.
Check CSLB's written-contract guidance and use our proposal comparison checklist. For a fast planning range, use our roof replacement estimate calculator. Request a roof estimate with your city, roof type, leak history and desired timing. The team confirms assessment and installation availability.
| Condition | Typical next step | What to document |
|---|---|---|
| Localized issue | Repair evaluation | Leak source, surrounding material and warranty |
| Widespread aging | Replacement comparison | Decking, layers, underlayment and material options |
| Solar planned | Solar-ready roof review | Attachment zones, penetrations, flashing and roof life |
Roof life varies by material, installation quality, ventilation, maintenance, sun exposure, coastal conditions, and fire-zone requirements. If you're seeing these signs, a roof review protects the home and can prepare it for solar.
As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor with CSLB #1055444 listed for roofing scope, we install and replace common Los Angeles roof types with permit and inspection planning based on the project.

Classic Southern California look that should be reviewed for weight, underlayment, fire rating, maintenance access and warranty terms. Tile roofing → For a local tile and heritage-roof example, see roof replacement in San Marino.

Many roof projects become more complicated when solar, batteries, electrical work or EV charging are planned separately. We hold both licenses (CSLB #1055444 for roofing, solar & battery; #1031989 for HVAC), so the roof, solar panels, Tesla Solar Panels, and Tesla Powerwall backup scope can be reviewed together with permit steps and warranty responsibilities documented in writing. Tesla stopped public Solar Roof sales in August 2026, so HUS now treats Solar Roof as an existing-owner, transition and previously approved-project topic rather than a standard new-project path. Planning panels on a new roof? See our dedicated guide to solar-ready roofing for how we engineer the roof for a future array. For coordinated service scope, review the Los Angeles HVAC, solar, roofing and battery contractor page. For broader research, use the contractor comparison and project-planning guide, or the battery-focused integration guide.
Cost depends on roof size, pitch, material (shingle, tile, metal), tear-off, and access. We provide a written, itemized estimate after inspecting your roof rather than a flat price. For typical 2026 ranges by material, see our Los Angeles roof replacement cost guide. Financing is available for qualified homeowners.
If your roof is near the end of its life, yes. Replacing first can help avoid paying to remove and reinstall panels later. Because we're licensed for roofing and solar, we sequence both in one coordinated project.
Yes. We install Class A rated roof systems and reflective cool-roof options where appropriate. Final material selection should be based on the home, code requirements, roof slope, budget, and permit scope.
Home Upgrade Specialist lists CSLB #1055444 for roofing, solar and battery scope and is an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor. Homeowners should review the written scope, warranty terms, permits, inspections and project documentation before approving work.
Most homes are completed in a few days, depending on roof size, pitch, material, and weather. Tile and complex rooflines take longer. We confirm a schedule after inspecting your roof.
Yes. We review permit requirements, coordinate required inspections where the scope requires them, and document the roof replacement from tear-off through closeout.
Asphalt shingle, concrete and clay tile, standing-seam metal, cool-roof systems, and solar-ready roofing. We recommend the material that fits your home, budget, and whether you plan to add solar.
Knowing what to expect makes a roof project easier to plan. Here is the typical six-step process for a Los Angeles or Orange County roof replacement, from the first inspection to final cleanup.
Start with your address, then work through roof system, roof details and your contact details in the HUS Planner. Use the guided flow to prepare for your project review.
Comparing materials first? Read our roof replacement cost guide for the factors that shape a written estimate.
Online planning is a starting point. Final scope, pricing and timing require a property review.
Ask HUS about payment options available for your roofing project. Financing may be available subject to lender approval and the terms offered for your project.
Compare the cash price and financed total, any down payment, APR, repayment term and fees in the written offer. Include your roofing scope and any solar work in the discussion.
No specific rate, payment amount or credit approval is promised here.
A roof estimate is more accurate when we can review the roof condition, solar plans, battery goals, and utility details before the scope is finalized.
Roof age, leak history, attic stains, skylights, gutters, fascia, decking concerns, and access photos.
Tell us if you are considering solar panels, Tesla Solar Roof, or a future battery. During the 2026 Solar Roof transition, HUS verifies current project eligibility and timing before confirming availability.
Panel location, planned battery backup, EV charger plans, and future heat pump loads.
The actual utility account, including SCE Net Billing Tariff rules or LADWP's separate solar and interconnection rules, plus SGIP status and financing assumptions if solar or battery will be added.
