SAN FERNANDO VALLEY ROOF REPAIRS / INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Below are some important facts you should know before you start your new home or commercial roof repair or installation project through building permits and inspections for San Fernando Valley:
When you install a new home or commercial roof, or have your roof repaired in the San Fernando Valley, your project will require a permit from the City of Los Angeles Building and Safety, and it will involve two core inspections. A roof nailing and deck inspection must be completed first, where an inspector will inspect the nailing pattern on the roof deck and a final roof inspection, to ensure the installation was completed correctly. The San Fernando Valley area (L.A. County) has no minimum roofing material requirements on the type of roofing product to be installed and follows California’s Uniform Building Code. If you are part of a homeowners association, there may be some restrictions on the type of roofing products or roof color you can install. For additional information, you may want to contact Los Angeles Building and Safety online.
San Fernando Valley roofing contractors should include the following:
- Verify contractor is licensed with the California Contractors State License Board
- By law, roofing contractors must provide the following notices:
- The contract must include an estimated start and completion date.
- The contract should include a specific scope of work on what is included and what is not included.

REVIEWS
WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
Tim and Brandon sent updates at every step including pictures of their work in real time.
We are very pleased and have contracted them for another property.
Highly recommend.
The price was great (as much as it can be for a roof, no small purchase), and the crew was really fantastic. They were professional and got the work done quickly. They had to put sheathing on my roof, since it’s old and didn’t have any underneath (!), and the whole project still only took 4 days.
For me, the best thing was that the crew cleaned up every day. The yard was clear, and there were no nails or debris hanging around. It’s a little thing that was really nice to see— it was really nice to go outside in the afternoon and not worry about stepping on anything/ having that peace to move around in the middle of a project.
I’d recommend this company to anyone.
This company is a class act and I am so pleased to have picked GreatWay Roofing who kept me informed thru email and sent photos as the project was moving ahead.
Great customer service, knowledgeable courteous workers and a satisfied customer says it all
