Statewide in California, about 47% of homes have asphalt shingles and 3% have metal roofs, by the federal energy survey.

Roofers Hotline books roof repair and replacement in Los Angeles, and the nearest NOAA station, the downtown weather station on the USC campus, shows why sun matters here: 25.6 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher in the 1991 to 2020 climate normals. That heat wears on shingles, sealant and flashing year after year. NOAA's storm records for the county add 6 tornadoes and 5 damaging wind events since 2015. Call for an inspection, and ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
A windstorm passes through overnight, and the next morning you find a few shingles in the driveway. In NOAA's storm records, Los Angeles County logged 5 damaging thunderstorm wind events and 6 tornadoes since 2015, while hail is rare, with 8 events of one inch or larger. Loose or lifted shingles are easy to miss from the ground. Call after the next windy night and ask for a roof inspection and a written estimate.
You bought a house built in the 1960s and have never seen the roof up close. By Census estimates for 2019 to 2023, 71% of homes in Los Angeles were built before 1980, and the median home was built in 1964. Many of those roofs are on at least their second covering, and older decking and flashing can hide problems under it. Call to book an inspection before a small leak becomes a bigger repair.
After a long dry summer, a rare rainstorm shows you a stain on the bedroom ceiling. The 1991 to 2020 normals at the downtown Los Angeles station record 25.6 days a year at 90 degrees or higher and 14.2 inches of rain, with no snow and no freezing days. Sun cracks sealant and dries out shingles, and rain then finds the gaps. Call for an inspection before the wet season, and ask the written estimate to cover sealant and flashing.
A neighbor hands you a quote from someone who never mentions a license. California requires roofing contractors to hold a CSLB license, usually the C-39 Roofing classification. Look up any license at CSLB before you agree to work. Call Roofers Hotline for roof repair or replacement in Los Angeles, and ask for the written estimate to be in your hands before any work starts.

Why call
Questions
Less often than in hail country, but it happens. NOAA's records for the county show 5 damaging wind events and 6 tornadoes since 2015. After a windy night, call for an inspection and ask what shingles or flashing need repair.
Yes. By Census estimates for 2019 to 2023, 71% of local homes were built before 1980, so many roofs are on a second covering or later. Older decking and flashing can fail first. Call for an inspection and a written estimate.
It adds wear. The downtown station averages 25.6 days a year at 90 degrees or higher in the 1991 to 2020 normals. Heat dries out shingles and cracks sealant. Call for a yearly roof check and have worn spots repaired.
Check the license first. California requires roofing contractors to hold a CSLB license, usually the C-39 Roofing classification, and you can look up any license at CSLB. Then call Roofers Hotline and ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
