Roofers for Long Beach and nearby cities
Roof repair and replacement in Long Beach, by our own crews
A leak that shows up with the first winter storm, tiles that slipped, a flat roof that ponds: call us, and a roofer who works on Long Beach roofs every day picks up.
Tiles last decades. The felt under them usually gives out first, which is why so many Long Beach tile roofs leak with nothing broken on top.
For a roof leak or roof work in Long Beach, call (562) 414-1770. The line is answered 24/7. Most repairs fall between $385 and $1,450, tile roofs that need new underlayment usually run $9.40 to $15.80 per square foot, and new roofs run $5.60 to $27.40 per square foot depending on the material. We look at the roof first and show you photos before any price.
Who we are
A roofing company that does its own roofs
When you call about a roof, the people who answer are the people who climb it. Denco Roofing Company runs its own crews out of an office on East 1st Street in downtown Long Beach and a second office on Biola Avenue in La Mirada. That keeps us close to the coast, close to the Gateway Cities, and close enough to tarp a roof the same night it starts leaking.
Most of our work is on homes built between the 1920s and the 1970s, with a growing share of apartments, condo buildings and small commercial roofs. That mix shapes how we work: we expect brittle old felt under tile, dry rot at the eaves, flashing that rusted near the water, and flat roofs that were patched by three different people before us.

Signs to watch for
When a Long Beach roof needs a roofer
These are the six things that most often lead to a call. If you see one, it is cheaper to look now than after the next storm.
Water stains after the first storm
Rain is rare here most of the year, so many roof leaks wait for the first atmospheric river to show themselves as a brown ring on the ceiling.
Slipped or cracked tiles
Tiles move in Santa Ana winds and small earthquakes. A slipped tile can expose felt that was never meant to see the sun.
Granules in the gutters
Shingles shedding their granules are near the end of their life, especially on the sunny south and west slopes.
Ponding on a flat roof
Water that sits for two days after rain on a flat roof finds the weak seams. It is common on mid-century homes and garages.
Rusty flashing and vents
Within a mile or two of the ocean, salt air eats metal flashing, vent caps and nails faster than it does inland.
Soft or rotted eaves
Dark, crumbly fascia and rafter tails mean water has been getting behind the gutter or under the edge of the roof for a while.
Tile roof check
Where is the felt under your tiles in its life?
Tile roofs leak most often because the underlayment under the tile wears out, not the tile. Pick your roof's details and the gauge shows where it likely stands.
This is a general guide built from typical service lives, not a diagnosis. Roofs vary with slope, ventilation and past repairs.
Roofs by part of town
Long Beach roofs are not all the same roof
The older neighborhoods near the bluff, Bluff Park, Belmont Heights and California Heights, are full of 1910s to 1930s homes with clay tile, old composition over skip sheathing, and chimneys that need careful flashing. Several are historic districts, so visible material changes can need extra review.
The post-war tracts, Los Altos, The Plaza, Lakewood Village and much of North Long Beach, were built fast in the 1950s with low-pitch composition roofs. Many now carry a second layer or concrete tile added later, which changes what a re-roof costs.
Rancho Estates has Cliff May ranchos with low-slope and flat roofs and wide eaves, while Naples and Belmont Shore sit right on the water, where salt air and tight lot lines shape how we stage a job.
How a job runs
From the first call to the last nail

You get the options
We show you the photos and explain repair, partial or full replacement, with the price for each, on the spot or the same day.
- 4
Our crew does the work
Our own roofers do the job, pull the permit when one is needed, and keep the yard and gutters clean as they go.
- 5
Final check and photos

Roof Advice
Straight answers from our roofers
Tile roofs last. The underlayment under them does not
Most tile roof leaks in Long Beach start under the tile, not in it. Here is how the underlayment ages, what the warning signs look like and how a lift and relay works.
Read the articleRepair or replace your roof: how to decide
Not every leak means a new roof, and not every repair is money well spent. Use these questions to decide which one your Long Beach home needs.
Read the articleWhat a re-roof permit in Long Beach involves
A new roof in Long Beach needs a building permit. Here is what that involves, how inspections fit into the job and when historic district review comes up.

Questions Long Beach homeowners ask us
Who answers when I call Denco about a roof leak at night?
Our phone is answered 24 hours a day, every day of the week. At night we take the address and what you are seeing, and if water is coming in we send a crew to tarp or patch it as soon as it is safe to get on the roof.
Do you work on tile, shingle and flat roofs, or just one type?
All three. Long Beach has clay and concrete tile on Spanish and newer homes, composition shingle on ranch and Craftsman homes, and flat or low-slope roofs on mid-century homes, garages, apartments and commercial buildings. Our crews repair and replace each of them.
How do I know if my roof needs a repair or a full replacement?
Age, the number of leak spots and the condition of what is under the roofing all matter. One leak on a sound roof is a repair. Several leaks, soft decking or underlayment at the end of its life usually point to replacement or, on tile roofs, a lift and relay. We walk the roof and show you photos before you decide.
Does a re-roof in Long Beach need a permit?
Yes. The City of Long Beach requires a building permit for re-roofing, and homes inside a historic district can need extra review before visible material changes. Cities around Long Beach have their own building departments. We check what applies to your address before any material is ordered.
What areas does Denco cover outside Long Beach?
Our crews work from offices in Long Beach and La Mirada, so we cover Lakewood, Signal Hill, Seal Beach, Los Alamitos, Cypress, Bellflower, Downey, Norwalk, Cerritos, Whittier, Carson, Torrance, San Pedro, Huntington Beach and more cities in south Los Angeles County and north Orange County.
Can I get a price over the phone?
We can give you the typical range for the work on the phone, and our roof costs page lists ranges for every service. A real price comes after a roofer looks at the roof, because slope, access, layers and what is under the roofing change the number.
