1950s R1 tract homes, typically 1,200–1,600 sq ft on 6,000–7,500 sq ft lots, with simple gable and hip roofs make up most of Van Nuys. The roofs that go with those houses are composition shingle on nearly every tract roof, many re-covered once already and now due for a full tear-off, with flat torch-down sections over garage conversions and room additions.
Most Van Nuys tract roofs were re-covered once in the 1990s without a tear-off, so the next roof is a two-layer tear-off with a decking allowance, and the flat torch-down over the converted garage usually needs doing at the same time.
Two-layer tear-offs on the 1950s tracts, flat-roof repairs over converted garages, and full shingle replacements before a sale are the jobs we see most in Van Nuys. A replacement from Roofing RIB Company starts with a full tear-off to the deck, a per-sheet decking allowance written into the quote, synthetic underlayment with self-adhered membrane in the valleys and at every penetration, new flashing and vents, and then the covering you choose: a Class A cool-roof architectural shingle, concrete or clay tile, standing seam metal, or a TPO or torch-down membrane on the flat sections.
Permits go to LADBS at the Van Nuys Development Services Center, 6262 Van Nuys Blvd, inside Van Nuys itself. LADBS issues most shingle re-roofs as an express permit (no plan check) when the covering is Class A or B and weighs under 6 lb/sq ft over solid sheathing; tile and other heavier coverings go through the standard permit process. Within the City of Los Angeles, a residential roof replacement covering more than 50% of the roof area must use a cool roof product labeled and certified by the Cool Roof Rating Council. Van Nuys is flat Valley floor outside the hillside fire zones, so a Class B shingle is code-legal here, although we install Class A assemblies as standard.
Every layer off, debris hauled the same day, nails swept from the yard and driveway with magnets.
Rotted plywood or skip sheathing replaced at a per-sheet price that is in the quote before we start, so Van Nuys homeowners never get a surprise on day one.
Synthetic underlayment, ice-and-water membrane in the valleys and around chimneys, skylights and pipes, new drip edge, flashing and attic vents.
Cool-roof architectural shingle for the ranches and bungalows, tile for the Spanish and traditional homes, standing seam for modern rebuilds, TPO or torch-down for the flat sections.
LADBS express permit for shingle, plan check for heavier tile. We pull the permit, schedule the final and hand you the closed permit.
Manufacturer material warranty registered in your name plus our written workmanship warranty, both delivered with the closed permit.

| Scope | Planning range | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Architectural shingle re-roof | $12,000–$25,000 | Full tear-off of a 1,500–2,500 sq ft roof, synthetic underlayment, new flashing and vents, CRRC-rated cool-roof shingle where the City requires it, permit and haul-away. |
| Per square (100 sq ft), shingle | $600–$1,200 | Installed, including tear-off and disposal; the spread is roof pitch, number of layers, decking repairs and access. |
| Concrete tile | $10–$18 per sq ft | New concrete tile over new underlayment and battens; plan-check permit because tile exceeds the 6 lb/sq ft express-permit limit. |
| Clay tile | $15–$25 per sq ft | Mission or S-tile over new underlayment; the historic Spanish homes in Burbank and Toluca Lake sit here. |
| Standing seam metal | $13–$21 per sq ft | Concealed-fastener steel or aluminum panels; the Los Angeles metro figure in the published guides. |
Planning ranges compiled from the published Los Angeles cost guides listed below, not a price list; roof size, pitch, layers, decking and access move a real Van Nuys quote inside or outside these bands. Your written quote after a free inspection sets the price.
A roofer, not a salesperson, walks every slope, checks the flashing, penetrations and attic side, and photographs what they find. You get a straight answer on repair versus replacement.
An itemized written quote for the roof replacement: tear-off, decking allowance, underlayment, covering, flashing, vents, permit and haul-away. The price in the quote is the price on the invoice unless you change the scope.
We pull the permit, protect the property, complete the work in the quoted window and schedule the final inspection. You get the closed permit and the material warranty paperwork at the end.
Tell us the age of the roof, the material and anything you have noticed, and a roofer will call to schedule a free inspection at your Van Nuys home.

The Roofing RIB Company team came out to look at our roof since we had a few leaks. He was really professional and explained the whole roof structure and what caused the leak. We ended up replacing the whole roof because it was almost 35 years old; the price was reasonable compared to the other quotes we got. Would definitely recommend Roofing RIB Company.
I've had many roofers come to check my roof and got a wide variety of quotes, sales gimmicks and outright lies. This company was nothing like that. They called right back when I asked for a quote and made an appointment. When they showed up, they took measurements, explained their process, and gave me a copy of their insurance and bond documents, and a clear and simple contract that made sense. They came on the agreed day and finished the job quickly and efficiently. It looks good.
Can't be happier. They did my roof and solar system combo deal with no-APR financing.
Planning range for 2026: $12,000–$25,000 for a typical 1,500–2,500 sq ft shingle re-roof; tile and metal run higher. The Van Nuys housing stock, 1950s R1 tract homes, sets the typical scope; a two-layer tear-off, decking repairs or hillside access move the quote within the range. You get an itemized written quote after a free inspection.
2–4 days on site for shingle, 1–2 weeks for tile or metal. Most Van Nuys shingle roofs are dried in on day one and finished within two to four days; tile and metal take longer.

Within the City of Los Angeles, a residential roof replacement covering more than 50% of the roof area must use a cool roof product labeled and certified by the Cool Roof Rating Council. Nearly every shingle we install is a CRRC-rated cool-roof color regardless.
Van Nuys is flat Valley floor outside the hillside fire zones, so a Class B shingle is code-legal here, although we install Class A assemblies as standard. We install Class A assemblies anyway; the shingle lines we use already qualify and the underlayment package costs little more.
For 1950s R1 tract homes, usually: composition shingle on nearly every tract roof, many re-covered once already and now due for a full tear-off, with flat torch-down sections over garage conversions and room additions. We quote the option that fits the house and the budget, and tell you when a cheaper one would be the wrong call.
