Fast, Reliable Roof Replacement Across Inglewood
A full roof replacement in Inglewood for a typical 1,200 to 1,800 square foot home generally runs $11,500 to $19,800, depending on the material you choose, the condition of the decking underneath, and whether your roof has the low-slope sections so common on Inglewood’s mid-century houses. We’re Crestview Roofing, and we’ve replaced enough roofs between Crenshaw, Manchester, and La Brea to know that every Inglewood home has its own story under the shingles. If you’re looking at a roof that’s nearing the end of its life, call us at (325) 246-5075 and we’ll give you a written price before any work begins.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Inglewood
Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement is the most common full roof job we do across Inglewood, and for good reason. The material holds up well in our mild coastal climate, the installed cost is reasonable, and today’s architectural shingles look far better than the flat three-tab shingles you see on older homes around Morningside Park and Lockhaven. A standard tear-off and re-shingle on a 1,500 square foot Inglewood home typically lands between $12,000 and $17,500.
The biggest cost driver on these jobs is what we find under the old shingles. Inglewood’s 1940s and 1950s homes often have skip sheathing (spaced boards rather than solid plywood), which doesn’t meet current code for a proper nail base. We’ll need to quote decking replacement when that’s the case, which usually adds $2,800 to $4,500 to the job. We’ll tell you before we start, not after we’ve torn the old roof off.
Architectural Shingles and Why They Matter
We install GAF Timberline and CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles on the majority of our Inglewood replacements. They’re thicker than the old three-tab shingles, they carry a lifetime manufacturer warranty, and they add real curb appeal. If you’re planning to sell a home north of Century Boulevard in the next five years, the upgrade is worth it.
Ridge Vent and Drip Edge
Every asphalt shingle replacement we do in Inglewood includes new drip edge and proper ridge or box ventilation. Many older homes here were built with gable vents only, which lets heat build up in the attic and shortens the life of the shingles. We correct that as standard practice, and we show you photos of the new venting before we close out the job.
New Roof Installation in Inglewood
New Roof Installation in Inglewood means one of two things: you’re building a new home or addition, or the existing roof is so far gone that we’re tearing off everything, including the decking, and starting fresh. For new construction on the residential lots near Darby Park and the Hollywood Park area, a full new roof with architectural shingles and new decking typically runs $16,000 to $24,000 depending on square footage and roof complexity.
Most of Inglewood’s housing stock is mid-century, built in the 1940s through the 1960s with shallow-pitch roofs. That’s a critical distinction. Standard asphalt shingles are rated for slopes of 4:12 or steeper, and many Inglewood roofs are closer to 2:12 or 3:12. On those low-slope sections, we specify modified bitumen or a built-up system with proper flashing at walls and parapets, not shingles. Getting this wrong is the single most common cause of premature leaks on Inglewood homes.
Low-Slope Roof Systems for Mid-Century Homes
If your Inglewood home has the classic mid-century profile with a nearly flat section over the carport or the back addition, that section needs a low-slope system. Modified bitumen, torch-down, or a peel-and-stick underlayment with a reflective cap sheet are all better choices than shingles on shallow pitches. We’ll walk you through the options and give you a line-item price for each.
Roof Decking Replacement Standards
Inglewood building code requires a solid, level substrate before shingles go on. If your home has skip sheathing or water-damaged plywood, we include decking replacement in the written quote upfront. We don’t wait until tear-off to tell you it’s an extra. The price you sign is the price you pay, unless the city inspector flags something we both couldn’t see before demolition.
Trusted Brands We Service in Inglewood
We install and repair roofs using manufacturer-backed materials from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning. That means the shingles on your Inglewood roof carry their own factory warranty on top of our 365-Day Done Right Promise. We keep common materials and accessories stocked for quick turnaround in the area, and since Inglewood homes skew toward mid-century layouts, we’re familiar with the specific flashing, venting, and low-slope details these houses need. If you have a brand preference, tell us when you call for your estimate and we’ll quote it.
Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Inglewood Homes
After replacing roofs across Inglewood for years, certain patterns show up again and again. Here are the four most common issues we find:
- Unpermitted replacements. A contractor quotes a low price because they skip the City of Inglewood permit. The work gets done fast, but when you go to sell the house, the unpermitted roof shows up in disclosure and can kill the deal or cost you thousands. We pull permits on every full replacement.
- Shingles on low-slope sections. Inglewood’s mid-century homes often have shallow-pitch additions or carports where shingles simply don’t belong. Water pools, leaks follow, and the manufacturer warranty is void. We specify low-slope systems where the slope requires them.
- Decking rot ignored. Contractors who quote a cheap tear-off often skip the decking inspection and re-roof over rotted wood. Nails won’t hold, shingles ripple, and the new roof fails early. We always inspect the decking and include any needed replacement in writing.
- Poor ventilation and drip edge. Older Inglewood homes frequently lack proper ridge venting and drip edge. Heat builds up in the attic, shingles curl, and water wicks under the edges at the eaves. We correct both as standard practice on every replacement.

FAQs About Roof Replacement in Inglewood
Yes. The City of Inglewood requires a building permit for a full roof replacement, and the work must pass a final inspection. We pull the permit ourselves, schedule the inspection, and make sure the job meets current code before we call it done. Any contractor who tells you a permit isn’t needed is cutting corners that can come back on you when you sell. Call (325) 246-5075 and we’ll handle the paperwork.
Most full tear-off and replacement jobs on Inglewood homes take 3 to 5 working days, assuming the weather cooperates and we don’t find extensive decking rot. A straightforward shingle replacement on a ranch-style home near Crenshaw and Manchester might wrap in two days. A larger home with low-slope sections and decking replacement could run a full week. We’ll give you a written timeline with your estimate so you can plan around it.
A square is 100 square feet of roof area, and it’s the unit roofers use to price materials and labor. A 1,500 square foot home typically has 15 to 18 squares of roof surface, depending on pitch and overhangs. In our Inglewood market, you should expect to pay roughly $650 to $900 per square for a full tear-off and replacement with architectural shingles. More squares mean more materials and more labor. Call (325) 246-5075 and we’ll measure your roof and give you an exact square count with your written quote.
Only if the slope is steep enough to meet the manufacturer’s minimum requirement. Most architectural shingles require a 4:12 pitch or steeper, and many Inglewood homes from the 1940s and 1950s have sections at 2:12 or 3:12. On those shallow areas, we install a low-slope system like modified bitumen with proper flashing at the walls and parapets. Using shingles where they don’t belong voids the warranty and leads to leaks. We’ll tell you exactly what your roof needs, section by section.
We inspect the decking and fascia before we finalize your written quote, so in most cases, any needed replacement is already in your price before work starts. If we uncover hidden rot during demolition, we’ll stop, show you photos, and give you a written change order for the additional work before we proceed. You approve it or you don’t. We never bill you for work you didn’t authorize. It’s part of the written price guarantee we put on every Inglewood job.
