Roof leak repair and re-roofing in Bellflower, CA

Bellflower borders North Long Beach to its south, so it is one of the quickest trips for our crews, about 15 minutes up Bellflower Boulevard or Lakewood Boulevard. The 91 cuts across the city and the 605 runs along the east side. Our La Mirada office is also within easy reach.

We work for homeowners, small landlords with a few units on a lot, and owners adding or fixing a back house. Many roofs in Bellflower were re-roofed piece by piece as money allowed, so one house can have shingle on the front, roll roofing on a porch and a torch-down roof on a garage conversion. Each part ages on its own clock.

Small older homes, back units and mixed roofs

Much of Bellflower was built in the 1940s and 1950s, with some older homes from the 1920s and 1930s on the original lots. The houses are generally modest one-story stucco or wood-sided homes with simple gable or hip roofs, mostly covered in asphalt shingle. Deep lots led to garages, workshops and second units in the back.

Small apartment buildings and multi-unit lots are common too, often with low-slope roofs behind short parapets. Those roofs use hot mop, torch-down or coatings, and the scuppers and drains get clogged with leaves and debris. With so many additions, the joints between roof sections are where we find the majority of leaks.

Roof problems we see most in Bellflower

Getting roof work done in Bellflower

Bellflower has its own building department, and re-roofs require a city permit and inspection. If you are converting a garage or adding a unit, the roof is part of that larger permit, and we can work alongside your general contractor. For straight re-roofs, we pull the permit ourselves and schedule the inspection.

Lots here are often deep and narrow with tight side yards, so we plan ladder spots and debris drops carefully, especially where a back unit is occupied. Bellflower is inland, so heat and sun are harder on roofs than salt air. Winter storms are when most leaks surface, and we can tarp the same night when a roof starts dripping.
