Free inspection, written price before work starts. Active leak? Call (818) 600-6707.
1940s–60s ranch and mid-century homes on the flats, post-and-beam houses with low-slope roofs, larger traditional and Spanish homes and hillside houses south of Ventura make up most of Sherman Oaks, and the roofs on them are architectural shingle on the ranch flats, torch-down or built-up membranes on mid-century low-slope sections and room additions, concrete and clay tile on the larger traditional and Spanish homes, and Class A assemblies on the hillside parcels. Each of those leaks in its own way: shingle at the flashing and the valleys, tile where the underlayment under it has worn through, and the flat sections at the seams, the scuppers and the transition where they meet the main roof.
Ventura Boulevard splits the job: on the flats north of it the roofs are simple ranch gables that re-roof in two or three days; south of it the canyon streets leave no room for a dumpster, material goes up by hand, and the assembly has to be Class A.
Shingle tear-off and re-roof on the 1950s ranches, flat-section leak repairs where a low-slope addition meets the main roof, and tile underlayment replacement on the south-of-Ventura homes are the repair calls we take most in Sherman Oaks. Every repair from Roofing RIB Company starts on the roof, not in the living room: we walk the slopes, check every penetration, look at the attic side where we can, and water-test when the source is not obvious. Then you get a written price for the actual fix, with photos, before any work. When it is actively raining we dry the roof in first and credit that cost toward the permanent repair.
We also say so when a repair is the wrong answer. A Sherman Oaks roof past 25 years with brittle shingles and several leaks needs a replacement, not a fourth patch, and we would rather quote that honestly than take a repair fee twice.
Roof walk, attic check and water testing to find the entry point in a Sherman Oaks roof, with photos of what we found.
New step and counter-flashing set into the stucco or mortar, new skylight curbs and saddles, where most Sherman Oaks leaks start.
Lifted, cracked or missing shingles replaced with matching material; broken tiles swapped and the underlayment beneath them repaired.
Seams rewelded, TPO patches heat-welded, scuppers cleared or enlarged, and the transition to the main roof flashed properly.
Ridge caps and shingles lifted by Santa Ana winds, punctures from branches, with dated photos and a written report for an insurance claim.
Tarps and temporary sealing during rain so the interior stops taking water, credited toward the permanent repair.
Permits go to LADBS at the Van Nuys Development Services Center, 6262 Van Nuys Blvd, about ten minutes up Van Nuys Boulevard from our base. 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.
The hills south of Ventura Boulevard sit largely inside the City's Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, where LADBS requires a Class A roof covering; we check the exact parcel on ZIMAS before quoting.
| Scope | Planning range | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Leak or flashing repair | $700–$2,400 | Locate the source, replace damaged shingles or membrane, reseal or replace flashing at a chimney, skylight, vent or wall. Tile and flat roofs sit toward the top of the range. |
| Emergency tarp / dry-in | $500–$1,200 | Temporary cover during rain so the interior stops taking water; credited toward the permanent repair when we do it. |
| Storm or wind damage repair | $1,700–$3,500 | Lifted or torn shingles, damaged ridge caps and flashing after a wind event; the Los Angeles estimator range. |
| Larger repair or section re-roof | $3,000 and up | Rotted decking, a failed flat section or a repeat leak that needs a section rebuilt rather than a patch; quoted after inspection. |
| Skylight leak repair | $600–$1,600 | Reseal or rebuild the curb and flashing around the skylight; a failed skylight unit is priced separately. |
| Pipe boot or roof vent leak | $200–$1,200 | Replace a cracked rubber boot or rusted vent flashing and seal the shingles around it. |
| Chimney or wall flashing repair | $400–$1,200 | New step and counter-flashing set into the mortar or stucco; masonry repairs cost more. |
Our typical 2026 price ranges for Valley repairs. Tile, metal and flat roofs cost more to repair than shingle. The written price after a free inspection is the real number.
We start on the roof, not at the ceiling stain. On the 1940s–60s ranches north of Ventura Boulevard the water usually gets in at a chimney, a vent boot or a valley; on the post-and-beam houses it is often the seam where a low-slope section meets the main roof. We walk every slope, check the attic side where we can reach it and water-test the suspect area, then photograph the entry point before we quote. The inspection is free.
In 2026 figures, chimney or wall flashing repair plans at $400–$1,200, a leaking pipe boot or roof vent at $200–$1,200 and a skylight leak at $600–$1,600. Where we find flashing that was only caulked, we replace it with new step and counter-flashing set into the mortar or stucco, so the repair does not rely on sealant.
Often, yes. Lifted shingles, a cracked tile, a failed vent boot or an open seam on a flat section can be patched without re-roofing, and most of those jobs plan at $700–$2,400. When the shingles are brittle across the whole roof or the decking is soft in several places, a patch only buys months; we price the patch and the roof replacement in Sherman Oaks side by side so you can choose.
Sudden damage, such as shingles or ridge caps lifted by Santa Ana winds or a puncture from a falling branch, is commonly covered by homeowner policies; wear and age are not. Storm or wind damage repair plans at $1,700–$3,500. We photograph the damage with dates, write down the cause and can meet the adjuster on the roof. The insurance claims guide walks through the sequence.
Yes. When water is coming in during rain we cover the damaged area with a tarp or a temporary dry-in the same day so the inside stops getting wet, then make the permanent repair once the roof is dry. An emergency tarp or dry-in plans at $500–$1,200 in 2026 figures, and that cost is credited toward the repair. Call (818) 600-6707 and tell us where the water is showing.
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 repair: 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 where the water is showing up and when it started. A roofer will call back to schedule the inspection, or to come out today if it is raining.

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.
Thanks for your services, I will recommend!
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.
Most Sherman Oaks leak and flashing repairs plan at $700–$2,400 in 2026. On 1940s–60s ranch and mid-century homes on the flats, the usual fix is shingle tear-off and re-roof on the 1950s ranches. Rotted decking or a failed flat section pushes the price to $3,000 and up. You get a written price after a free inspection.
Call (818) 600-6707. We are based here in Sherman Oaks, so an active leak in a storm gets a tarp or dry-in the same day, and the lasting repair follows once the roof dries.
Ventura Boulevard splits the job: on the flats north of it the roofs are simple ranch gables that re-roof in two or three days; south of it the canyon streets leave no room for a dumpster, material goes up by hand, and the assembly has to be Class A.
Look at age and the leak pattern. A Sherman Oaks roof under about 15 years with one or two leaks is a repair. Past about 25 years, with brittle shingle or a flat section patched again and again, it usually needs replacing. We price both when it is close.
It depends on the scope. A section that gets rebuilt is permitted like a re-roof through LADBS, City of Los Angeles. For a small patch, we confirm with the building department for your Sherman Oaks address and put any permit in the quote.
If a sudden event caused it, often yes: wind, hail or a falling tree. Wear and age on architectural shingle on the ranch flats usually are not covered. We give Sherman Oaks homeowners dated photos and a written cause report for the adjuster.
Roofing RIB Company, a local roofing contractor based in Sherman Oaks, repairs architectural shingle on the ranch flats across Sherman Oaks, from Chandler Estates to Sherman Village, with a free inspection, photos of the cause and a written price before work. Call (818) 600-6707.
Leak detection is the inspection that finds where water enters before anything is repaired: a roof walk, the attic side where it is reachable, and a water test when the source is not obvious. For Sherman Oaks homes it is part of our free inspection, and you get photos of the entry point with the written price.
Yes. A lifted or missing shingle, a cracked tile, a failed vent boot or an open seam on a flat section can be patched without re-roofing; most patch and flashing jobs plan at $700–$2,400. If the roof around the patch is too worn for the patch to last, we say so before you pay for it.
