Shingle re-roofing and leak repair in Lomita, CA

Lomita lies west of Long Beach, past the harbor, between Torrance, Harbor City and the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Pacific Coast Highway runs through the city and the 110 is just to the east, so our crews come across on the 405 and down the 110, or along PCH. It is a compact city, which makes it easy to plan a job and come back for follow-up visits.

Lomita homeowners tend to want honest repair advice before they hear about replacement. We start by finding the actual source of a leak, then tell you whether the rest of the roof has years left or not.

Modest post-war houses below the Palos Verdes hills

Most of Lomita's homes are single-story houses from the 1940s through the 1960s, many with wood siding or stucco, gable roofs and wide eaves. Small apartment buildings and newer townhomes fill lots along the main streets, and some homes have had additions or second stories built over the years.

Asphalt shingle covers most of these houses, with some concrete tile and a scattering of flat roofs on additions, carports and apartments. The city is a few miles from the ocean, close enough for marine layer and some salt in the air, but sheltered compared with the beach. Brick chimneys, skylights and older metal flashings show up often.

Roof problems we see most in Lomita

Lomita permits, narrow lots and marine air

A full re-roof in Lomita needs a building permit and an inspection, and we handle the paperwork and the inspection appointment. If the new roof falls under Title 24 cool roof rules, we confirm which shingles qualify before ordering.

Lots are narrow on many streets, so we plan where the dumpster and material deliveries go before the job starts, and we talk with you about neighbors' driveways. Because of the marine air, we use corrosion-resistant flashing and fasteners. Lomita is one of our longer drives from downtown Long Beach, so we bundle inspections and repairs into as few visits as we can.
