Roofer in Santa Monica.
Santa Monica is a different kind of roofing project. Smaller lots, older character roofs, salt-air corrosion to plan for, and sometimes Coastal Commission overlays. We've done all of it.
About RAA in Santa Monica
Local knowledge, built into every project.
Santa Monica has some of the most architecturally distinctive housing on the Westside - 1920s-1940s Spanish with original clay tile, mid-century modern with low-slope built-up roofs, and beach-side bungalows that have been through three or four reroofs each. Roofing one well means knowing what to preserve and what's worth replacing.
Common Santa Monica roofs include Spanish tile re-roofs north of Montana (preserve clay tile, replace underlayment), mid-century low-slope conversions to modern TPO, comp-shingle replacements on the Sunset Park craftsman bungalows, and flat-roof modified bitumen work on the small commercial buildings near the boulevard.
Reroof permits go through the City of Santa Monica, which is one of the stricter jurisdictions in LA County. Properties west of Lincoln may also fall under California Coastal Commission review for major work. Salt air also matters - we spec stainless fasteners and aluminum flashings on every coastal-zone job.

Santa Monica FAQ
Common questions from Santa Monica homeowners.
- Do you work on the Coastal Zone (west of Lincoln)?
- Yes. Coastal Commission review usually doesn't apply to in-kind reroofs but can apply to material changes or skylight additions. We'll tell you up front whether your scope triggers Coastal review.
- How does salt air affect Santa Monica roofs?
- It corrodes standard fasteners and steel flashings 25-40% faster than inland. We use stainless steel fasteners and aluminum or copper flashings on every coastal-zone job to match the lifespan of the roof itself.
- How long do Santa Monica reroof permits take?
- Typically 2-4 weeks for plan check on standard reroofs. Coastal-zone or design-review-required projects can take 8-12 weeks.
- Can you do a TPO flat roof in Santa Monica?
- Yes. TPO is one of our most common Santa Monica installs - works well for the mid-century modern roofs, holds up against salt air, reflects heat from the marine layer breaks. 60-mil minimum, fully detailed at parapets and scuppers.
