Looking for a trusted roofing contractor in Los Angeles or the San Fernando Valley? HomeSense Construction & Remodeling is a licensed general contractor (CA Lic #1125001) installing, replacing, and repairing roofs across the SFV and greater LA County — including energy-saving cool roofs that meet California’s 2026 Title 24 code and qualify for utility rebates. From a single leak repair to a full tear-off and re-roof, our crews protect the homes of Northridge, Encino, Sherman Oaks, Woodland Hills, Van Nuys, and the surrounding valley.
Roofing Services We Provide Across the San Fernando Valley & LA
As a full-service general contractor, we handle every type of residential and light-commercial roof in Los Angeles County:
- Full roof replacement & re-roofing — complete tear-off and new installation when a roof reaches end of life.
- Roof repair & leak detection — fast fixes for storm damage, cracked tiles, failed flashing, and ceiling stains.
- Cool roof installation — reflective shingles, tile, and coatings that cut attic heat and energy bills.
- Asphalt shingle, tile, flat & low-slope roofs — the right system for your home’s pitch, style, and budget.
- Re-roofs tied to additions & remodels — seamless roofing when we build your home addition or ADU.
Cool Roofs & California Title 24 (2026 Update)
California’s updated Title 24, Part 6 energy code took effect January 1, 2026. For low-slope (flat or near-flat) roofs, the code now requires a minimum aged solar reflectance of 0.63 and thermal emittance of 0.75 — roughly a Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) of 75 — on new construction, replacements, and recovers of more than 50% of the roof. A cool roof reflects more sunlight and absorbs less heat, which keeps your attic and living spaces cooler through brutal Valley summers.
The payoff goes beyond comfort. Southern California utilities — including LADWP and Southern California Edison (SCE) — offer cool roof rebates that typically range from about $0.50 to $2.00+ per square foot, or roughly $500 to $3,000+ on a typical home. Not every product or contractor qualifies for every program, so we install Cool Roof Rating Council (CRRC)-rated materials and help you document the work for rebate eligibility.

Our Roofing Process
We keep the project transparent from first call to final inspection:
- Free on-site roof inspection & estimate — we assess condition, ventilation, and code requirements.
- Material & system selection — we walk you through shingle, tile, flat, and cool-roof options with clear pricing.
- Permits & code compliance — we pull the required City/County permits and meet Title 24 where it applies.
- Professional tear-off & installation — clean, efficient work with proper underlayment and flashing.
- Final inspection & cleanup — we verify the work, haul debris, and stand behind the result.
Roofing Costs & Timeline in Los Angeles
Roof pricing in LA depends on size, pitch, material, tear-off layers, and access. As a rough guide, an asphalt-shingle re-roof on a typical SFV home commonly runs from the low-to-mid five figures, with tile and premium cool-roof systems costing more. Most residential re-roofs are completed in 2 to 5 days, weather permitting. Because we are a licensed general contractor, we can bundle roofing with other exterior work — such as exterior painting or a whole-home remodel — and give you one coordinated scope and price.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in Los Angeles?
Yes. Re-roofing and roof replacement require a permit in the City and County of Los Angeles, and the work must meet current building and Title 24 energy code. As your licensed contractor, we pull the permit and schedule inspections for you.
What is a cool roof and is it required in 2026?
A cool roof uses reflective materials to bounce sunlight away and stay cooler. Under California’s 2026 Title 24 code, cool-roof reflectance and emittance minimums apply to most low-slope roof replacements and new construction. We help you choose CRRC-rated materials that comply and may qualify for utility rebates.
Can I get a rebate for a cool roof in Los Angeles?
Often, yes. LADWP and SCE offer cool roof rebates that typically range from roughly $0.50 to $2.00+ per square foot. Eligibility depends on the product rating and program rules, which is why we install qualifying materials and help document the project.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential re-roofs in the San Fernando Valley take about 2 to 5 days depending on size, material, and weather. We give you a firm timeline before we start.
Do you do roof repairs or only full replacements?
Both. We handle everything from leak repairs and storm damage to complete tear-offs and re-roofs. We’ll always tell you honestly whether a repair or a replacement is the smarter investment.
