Call (562) 414-1770Park Estates is an east Long Beach neighborhood of wide, curving streets and large lots, built mostly from the 1950s onward with custom homes rather than repeating tract models. Many houses are single-story but sprawling, with long hip roofs, multiple wings, and big rear patios. Others have grown with second-story additions over the years.
Large roofs like these are where small problems hide longest. A cracked tile or a worn valley on the back side of a big house can leak for a while before anyone notices. Our crews inspect the whole roof, not just the obvious spot, and give you a clear picture before suggesting repair or replacement.
Custom homes and large roofs in Park Estates
Original roofs here included wood shake on many homes, and over the decades most have been replaced with concrete tile, clay tile or high-end composition shingle. Concrete tile roofs from those replacements are now reaching the age when the underlayment beneath them fails, even though the tile itself still looks fine.
Long ridges, many hips and valleys, and several chimneys are common. Some homes still carry wood shake, which dries and splits in our sun and is worth replacing before it fails. Big roofs also mean big gutters and long drip edges that need regular care.
Roof problems we see most in Park Estates
Aging concrete tile underlayment
Underlayment beneath concrete tile wears out long before the tile. Lift and relay or full replacement with new underlayment is the fix.
Remaining wood shake
Older shake roofs split, curl and lose thickness in the dry heat. Gaps open and leaks follow, especially along the eaves.
Long valleys
Big intersecting roof wings create long valleys that carry heavy water in storms. Worn valley metal or debris causes leaks along their length.
Hidden back-slope damage
On large homes, slopes not visible from the ground can hide broken tile or wind damage for a long time. A full walk of the roof finds it.
Planning a big roof job in Park Estates
Large re-roofs take more planning: material staging on wide driveways, protecting landscaping and pools, and keeping the home dry while sections are open. We work in sections so the house is never left exposed overnight. The City of Long Beach requires a building permit for re-roofing, which we pull, and we confirm Title 24 cool-roof rules before ordering.
Park Estates is a few miles inland, so salt air is less of a factor than sun and heat. Owners replacing shake often weigh concrete tile, synthetic slate and stone-coated steel, and we explain weight, look and cost for each. Our downtown office is a short drive, and we take storm calls 24/7.

Questions from Park Estates
Is it worth relaying the concrete tile on my Park Estates home instead of replacing it?
Often it is. If most of the tile is sound, we remove it, install new underlayment and flashing, and reinstall it, replacing only broken pieces. On a large Park Estates roof that can save a meaningful amount compared to new tile.
What should I replace the wood shake roof on my Park Estates house with?
Common choices are concrete tile, synthetic slate, stone-coated steel and architectural shingle. We look at your framing, the style of the house and your budget, then explain the tradeoffs in weight, look and cost.
How long does a full re-roof take on a large Park Estates home?
It depends on size, material and what we find under the old roof. We give you a realistic schedule after the inspection and work in sections so the house stays dry the whole time.
