Sherman Oaks Roofing — Addressing a Generation of Aging Roofs

Sherman Oaks post-war homes with original gable roofs are showing the wear that comes with age — granule loss, curling shingles, and soft spots that signal it's time to act. Caspi Construction replaces them with Class A architectural shingles under proper LADBS permits, with the expertise for flat addition roofs as well.

The residential streets of Sherman Oaks — south of Ventura Boulevard and throughout the older blocks near Chandler Park — are lined with post-war bungalows and ranch homes built in the 1950s. Many of these homes have had one roof replacement since construction, putting them on a second roof that is now itself approaching the end of its useful life. Granule loss visible in the gutters, shingles curling at their edges, and soft spots when walking the roof are the classic indicators that the decking below has absorbed moisture and the roofing system's integrity is compromised. A roofing contractor in Sherman Oaks also encounters a secondary roofing scenario common in this era of home: flat or low-slope modified bitumen roofs on rear additions — kitchens, family rooms, or bedroom additions built in the 1970s and 1980s — that are failing independently of the main pitched roof. Caspi Construction is a licensed Sherman Oaks roofing company (CSLB #1091631) with a 4.9★ rating. All LADBS permits are managed as part of every project.

Our Sherman Oaks Roofing Services

Full Shingle Roof Replacement

A complete Sherman Oaks shingle roof replacement begins with a thorough deck inspection after tear-off — replacing compromised sections before new materials are installed. We use a peel-and-stick self-adhering underlayment at eaves and valleys for enhanced moisture protection, install Class A architectural shingles in CertainTeed or GAF products appropriate to the fire zone classification, and replace all flashing — drip edge, step flashing at wall intersections, and any chimney or skylight flashing — as a standard part of every replacement.

Flat Addition Roof Replacement (Modified Bitumen)

Flat and low-slope addition roofs in Sherman Oaks are typically covered with modified bitumen torch-down or peel-and-stick systems that have a 15–20 year service life. We remove the existing system, inspect the decking below, install new modified bitumen in a two-ply system appropriate to the roof's slope and drainage, and seal all penetrations and parapet edges properly. An LADBS permit is required for flat roof replacement over a certain area threshold, which we manage.

Fire Hazard Zone Compliance

Many Sherman Oaks homes are in Moderate Fire Hazard Severity Zones, which require Class A or Class B fire-rated roofing materials on any permitted re-roof. We identify your home's fire zone classification during the initial inspection and specify materials that meet LADBS compliance requirements for your specific designation. All permit applications include the fire zone documentation LADBS requires.

Ventilation & Insulation Assessment

Attic ventilation is frequently overlooked in Sherman Oaks roof replacements but has a direct impact on roofing system longevity. We assess the existing ventilation configuration during our initial inspection and recommend upgrades — ridge vent additions, soffit vent clearing, or powered ventilation where appropriate — as part of the replacement scope. Improved ventilation reduces both shingle degradation and summer cooling loads.

Recent Roofing Projects Near Sherman Oaks

Project 1 — Chandler Park 1955 Bungalow Roof

A 1955 Sherman Oaks bungalow near Chandler Park had a 24-year-old asphalt shingle roof with significant granule loss and three areas of decking damage from slow moisture infiltration around the chimney flashing. The property was in a Moderate Fire Hazard zone requiring Class A materials. We completed a full tear-off, replaced 95 square feet of damaged OSB decking, applied self-adhering underlayment at all eaves and valleys, installed CertainTeed Landmark TL architectural shingles in Moire Black with new continuous ridge vent, and replaced the chimney flashing with properly formed aluminum step and counter flashing. The roofing renovation in Sherman Oaks was LADBS permitted and completed in two days.

Project 2 — Ventura Corridor Addition Flat Roof

A homeowner near the Ventura Boulevard corridor had a 1970s rear-addition flat roof that had been leaking intermittently for two years — the modified bitumen surface had developed multiple blisters and a crack at the parapet wall where the flashing had pulled away. The main pitched roof was in acceptable condition. We removed the existing modified bitumen, found and replaced two sections of wet insulation board beneath it, installed a new two-ply modified bitumen system with a mineral-surfaced cap sheet in light grey, and detailed the parapet edge with properly formed aluminum flashing. An LADBS permit was pulled for the flat roof replacement, and the project was completed in two days.

Project 3 — Sherman Oaks Ranch Home Full Re-Roof

A mid-1960s Sherman Oaks ranch home had its original roof — a three-tab shingle system that had been patched repeatedly over the years without ever being fully replaced. The decking had three areas of soft spots, the valley metal was rusted through in two locations, and the satellite dish penetration had been incorrectly sealed with non-roofing caulk. We tore off the entire existing system, replaced 140 square feet of damaged decking, installed new galvanized valley metal, applied peel-and-stick underlayment throughout, and installed GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingles in Charcoal. All penetrations were properly sealed with compatible flashing materials, and LADBS permits were managed for the full re-roof. Completed in three days.
