Roof repair and roof replacement in Garden Grove, CA

Garden Grove is in central Orange County, east of Westminster and south of Anaheim, about 30 minutes from our Long Beach office by the 22 or the 405. The 22 runs right through the city, and the 5 and 405 are close by. Harbor Boulevard, Brookhurst Street and Garden Grove Boulevard are major routes.

We work on homes across Garden Grove, from small ranch houses to larger tile-roofed homes, plus apartment buildings and commercial roofs. Most calls come from owners who want to know if their roof can make it another few years or if it is time to replace. We give you an honest read either way. Sometimes a few hundred dollars of flashing and pipe boot work buys real time. Other times the shingles are so brittle that repairs would only move the leak a few feet.

1950s and 1960s neighborhoods with a mix of roofs

Garden Grove was mostly agricultural land before it filled with homes in the post-war years. Most houses are one-story stucco ranch homes with gable or hip roofs, re-roofed with asphalt shingle or concrete tile over the years. Some older homes from the 1920s through 1940s remain near the city's original center. Original roofs from the building boom were often wood shake or light composition, and most have since been stripped. A few homes still carry an overlay that hides the old layer beneath.

Apartment buildings, condos and townhomes are common in parts of the city, often with flat or low-slope roof sections. Commercial strips along the main boulevards add many flat roofs. Many homes have additions, covered patios and converted garages with roofs of their own.

Garden Grove permits and getting the work done

Garden Grove has its own building department, and re-roofs require a city permit and inspection. We handle the permit and meet the inspector on site. For apartment buildings, we coordinate with owners and managers on tenant notices and access.

Garden Grove is inland, so sun and heat are the main stresses on roofs. We focus on UV-resistant materials and attic ventilation. Our crews travel from Long Beach and La Mirada, and we answer the phone 24/7 for storm calls. Most single-story shingle re-roofs here take two to three working days, and tile relays take about a week. We stage material in the driveway and keep the street clear for neighbors.
