We’re a roofing-only company. That means inspection, repair, and replacement are all we do, and we start with the inspection. No quotes without diagnosis. No pushing a $15,000 replacement when a $500 flashing fix does the work. If you’ve got a water stain spreading across a ceiling or missing shingles after a Santa Ana event, we’ll tell you exactly what’s wrong and what it costs to fix.

Our Roof Repair team has worked on Hollywood’s Spanish Colonial bungalows, 1920s stucco apartment buildings, and hillside decks where the roof is the only route for equipment. We know this housing stock because we’ve repaired it, and we understand the access constraints that a generic contractor will miss until the job stalls.

Why Weathervane Roof Repair Is Hollywood’s Preferred Roof Repair Company

Hollywood homeowners keep calling us back because we treat the roof as a system, not a surface. That starts with reading how sun, wind, and drainage have actually affected the structure before we quote anything. The 90028 core is dense. Parking is scarce. Some apartment buildings share drains with the building next door. None of that shows up in a generic repair estimate, but it all shows up in ours.

We work with materials from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, so a repair gets brand-matched to the existing roof rather than swapped for whatever’s on the truck — whether that’s a GAF service in Hollywood or any other brand system. That matters on older Hollywood homes where a mismatched shingle line is visible from the street, and it matters on flat roofs where patching over the top layer without addressing the drain is how you end up calling another roofer in six months.

Gil Tanner built this company on a repair-first philosophy. That means we’ll open up the problem area, document what we find, and send you photos before we recommend work. You’ll know what failed, why it failed, and what it costs to correct. If your roof still has useful life, we’ll say so, and we’ll write the repair to match.

We also understand the practical realities of working in Hollywood. That means knowing which streets have permit parking, which hillside lots leave no room for a dumpster, and how to keep a job moving when the only access is a shared driveway off Cahuenga. Those details don’t appear on a marketing postcard. They appear in how the job actually goes.

Storm Damage Roof Repair in Hollywood

Storm damage roof repair in Hollywood is usually less about a single dramatic storm and more about what the dry season did before the rain arrived. Sun-baked membranes, dried-out flashing, and accumulated debris fail all at once in the first real downpour, which is why calls spike after the first Santa Ana wind event followed by heavy rain. We inspect the roof, identify every point where water entered, and write a repair scope that addresses the drainage path, not just the visible damage.

Lifted shingles, torn flashings, clogged scuppers, and water-stained ceilings are the common calls. In the dense apartment blocks of 90028, we routinely find flat roofs buried under multiple layers of patched-over tar-and-gravel, some with drains that run through the neighboring building. That’s a different job than replacing a few shingles, and it has to be priced differently.

Leak Response and Emergency Board-Up

When water is actively entering your home, we’ll get a tarp on it quickly and schedule the permanent repair once the roof is dry enough to work on. We respond to Hollywood calls with a focus on containment first, because a wet deck or a saturated ceiling only gets worse while you wait.

What Storm Repair Costs Here

Most storm damage repairs in Hollywood run $400 – $1,600 for shingle and flashing work, while flat roof patches with drain issues run $800 – $2,500. If a tree limb has punctured the deck or the underlayment is saturated, the scope expands, but you’ll see the line-item breakdown before we start.

Metal Roof Repair in Hollywood

Metal roof repair in Hollywood is most often about seams, fasteners, and penetrations, not the metal panels themselves. On the hillside homes above the Boulevard, we see standing-seam roofs and metal deck roofs where the panels are fine but the screws have backed out, the sealant has dried, or the flashing around a vent boot has cracked from years of UV exposure. We repair the failure point and re-secure the system.

Some Hollywood metal roofs are original to 1950s and 60s construction, which means expansion and contraction have worked the fasteners loose over decades. That creates a specific pattern: small leaks that appear near the low side of a panel or around any penetration, especially after a cold night follows a hot afternoon. We trace those leaks to the exact point of entry rather than coating the whole roof in sealant.

Seam and Fastener Repairs

We re-seat or replace fasteners, clean and re-caulk seams with the correct sealant for the metal type, and replace worn gaskets at penetrations. The goal is to restore the metal roof’s original water-shedding path without a full panel replacement.

Flashing and Transition Work

Where a metal roof meets a tile section or a stucco wall, the transition flashing is the most common leak point. We replace deteriorated transition metal and re-bed it so water moves off the roof instead of into the wall cavity.

Trusted Brands We Service in Hollywood

We install and repair using materials from seven major manufacturers: GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral. That means if your Hollywood roof was originally built with Owens Corning shingles, we’ll repair with Owens Corning, color-matched to what’s already there. If it’s a CertainTeed system, we match CertainTeed. On flat roofs and metal roofs, we stock the common flashings, drain baskets, and sealants needed for Hollywood’s older buildings, so most repair materials are on hand when the crew arrives. Seven leading brands, one honest recommendation. Brand-matched repairs. That’s the point.

Common Roof Repair Problems We See in Hollywood Homes

• Sun-degraded flat roof membranes. UV breaks down tar-and-gravel and modified bitumen surfaces fast, and by the time the first big storm hits, the membrane is brittle enough to split. Calls cluster in the weeks after the first rain.
• Shared drains between adjoining buildings. In the dense 90028 apartment blocks, a single drain often serves two properties, and it’s usually been patched over by multiple roofers who never addressed the real outlet. Leaks persist until both sides coordinate the repair.
• Failed flashing on clay-tile bungalow roofs. On Whitley Heights and the surrounding hillside streets, the tile itself is usually fine. The failure is at the penetrations, valleys, and wall transitions, where old flashing has dried and cracked after decades of sun.
• Deck-only access on hillside homes. Some Hollywood Hills homes have a single flat deck roof as the only staging surface. We plan load paths, use lightweight staging, and bring materials up in small lifts so the deck itself isn’t damaged during the repair.
