Venice is an eclectic mix of turn-of-the-century canal cottages, modernist cubes, and everything in between. Each style brings its own roofing headaches. We've worked on flat-topped studios a block from the Boardwalk and pitched tile roofs along the canals, using materials that resist the constant salt air and marine fog that define this neighborhood.
Venice sits right on the water. That means accelerated corrosion, faster granule loss, and moisture intrusion patterns you won't see ten blocks inland. We build roofs that account for every one of those factors.
We've been roofing Southern California homes for over two decades. That means we've seen every coastal failure mode and know how to prevent each one before it starts.
Venice sits in the City of LA permitting system, which can be slow and confusing. We file the applications, schedule inspections, and keep your project moving without bureaucratic stalls.
Green roofs, cool coatings, and solar-ready installations let you reduce your home's footprint. Venice values sustainability, and so do we - these options also cut energy costs noticeably.
From canal-side bungalows to contemporary multi-story builds on Abbot Kinney, every Venice roof has its own personality and its own set of problems.
Venice's Spanish-style homes look best with clay or concrete tile. We install and repair tile roofs that complement the architecture while standing up to ocean moisture.
Flat roofs dominate Venice's modern builds and garage-top decks. We apply TPO and modified bitumen membranes that prevent ponding and resist UV breakdown year after year.
Moisture is relentless near the canals. We seal your roof deck with liquid-applied barriers and waterproof membranes that block fog-driven dampness before it reaches your living space.
"Our canal house roof was leaking into the guest bedroom every time the fog rolled in thick. They waterproofed the entire deck and it's been bone-dry for two winters straight now."
Real questions from Venice homeowners who deal with the same coastal conditions you do.
Salt air speeds up corrosion on metal fasteners and flashing, marine fog constantly introduces moisture, and UV exposure is higher near reflective ocean water. Standard inland materials simply break down faster here. We choose products tested and rated for coastal environments.
With the right membrane and regular maintenance, a flat roof in Venice can last 20-25 years. Cheaper installations might start failing in under 10 years because ponding water and salt exposure accelerate deterioration.

"I've got a flat-roof studio and they installed a reflective coating that dropped my AC bill by almost a third last summer. Quick job, clean crew, and they didn't block the alley once."

In many cases, yes. We assess your roof's structural capacity first. If it needs reinforcement, we handle that before the solar company mounts anything. Older Venice roofs sometimes need new decking or additional support beams, which we can install.
We're familiar with the City of LA's permitting process and any additional coastal zone requirements that apply to Venice properties. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and keep the project compliant from start to finish.
We examine your roof on-site, document its current condition with photos, and provide a written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, permits, and disposal costs. Everything is itemized. There's no fee and no obligation to move forward.
