Roof repair and coastal re-roofing in Costa Mesa, CA

Costa Mesa is southeast of Long Beach, around where the 405 meets the 55 and the 73. Our crews come down the 405 from Long Beach, and most neighborhoods are a short drive off Harbor Boulevard, Newport Boulevard or Fairview Road. The south and west parts of the city sit closest to the coast.

Many Costa Mesa homes have been remodeled or added onto, so the roof is often a mix of old and new sections. We look at how those pieces join, find where water gets in, and give you choices for fixing it or starting over.

Mid-century ranches, townhomes and remodels near the coast

Much of Costa Mesa was built in the 1950s and 1960s, with single-story ranch houses and some two-story homes on the east and west sides of the city. Townhome and condo complexes, apartments and newer infill homes fill in around them, and many older houses have had second stories or large additions built since.

Asphalt shingle is common on the ranch homes, concrete tile on many complexes and re-roofed houses, and flat roofs on additions, garages and modern remodels. Salt air from the coast reaches most of the city, so steel flashing, vents and fasteners corrode faster than they would farther inland.

Roof problems we see most in Costa Mesa

Costa Mesa permits, HOA complexes and marine air

Costa Mesa has its own building department, and a re-roof needs a permit and inspection there. Townhome and condo associations usually control roofs on their buildings, so we work with the board or property manager on scope and colors. For single-family homes, we check whether Title 24 cool roof rules apply before ordering material.

Because of the marine air, we use corrosion-resistant flashing, vents and fasteners and seal cut metal edges. Morning fog can keep low-slope surfaces wet, so we plan membrane work for later in the day when needed. Costa Mesa is a straight run down the 405 from our Long Beach office.
