NEW CONSTRUCTION & ADDITIONS
Pro Roofing Service Long Beach installs roofs for new construction, additions and changed rooflines in Long Beach. New roofs work best when roofing is planned with the structure, drainage and other trades from the start. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.
YOUR PROJECT, IN FOCUS
Confirm structural design, deck requirements, slope, and intended water paths before selecting the final assembly.
Plan underlayment, drainage, edges, valleys, and wall interfaces as connected details.
Coordinate material weight, fastening, ventilation, and compatible accessories with project documents.
Resolve skylights, vents, mechanical equipment, and any future solar interfaces before work progresses.
WHAT WE COVER
Reviewing the roof design, slope and drainage early, so roofing details are not improvised late in construction.
Matching the roofing material to the structure, roof slope and the look of the building.
Roof-to-wall transitions, vents, skylights and equipment supports detailed so the waterproofing stays continuous.
Tying a new roof section into an existing roof so it sheds water properly and fits the building.
UNDERSTAND THE WORK
A roof assembly should match the structure, intended use, design documents, and applicable code. Coordinate roof penetrations, drainage outlets, and wall transitions early so they are not improvised late in the project. Confirm who will review unusual conditions or changes to the design.
Skylights, vents, chimneys, solar supports, and adjacent walls all interrupt the roof surface. Discuss which trades are responsible for each interface and how the waterproofing will remain continuous. Manufacturer instructions and project-specific details should guide the installation.
WHEN TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK
A new construction project needs a roof assembly suited to its structure, intended use, and applicable requirements.
Connections between new and existing roof areas require careful planning of slope, flashing, and drainage.
A different material or design may affect weight, attachment, drainage, and other building systems. Clarify whether this is installation or reroof scope.
WHAT TO EXPECT AND CONFIRM
These are the typical stages of the work. Access, scheduling, and the final scope are agreed for your actual property before work begins.
Bring drawings, specifications, and the construction schedule. Identify unresolved assembly or structural questions.
Resolve interfaces and responsibilities with the designer, builder, and relevant trades before materials are ordered.
Plan access, substrate readiness, temporary protection, and inspections for each construction stage.
Review approved changes, product information, closeout requirements, and future access or maintenance considerations.

LONG BEACH & SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
For Long Beach construction and additions, confirm project-specific building and energy requirements before ordering materials. Coastal exposure can influence metal accessories and coatings. Do not assume that an existing adjacent roof detail meets the requirements for new work.
Long Beach issues building permits to a licensed contractor with a valid California State Contractor's License and an active Long Beach Business License, or to the homeowner of a one- or two-family dwelling under the City's Information Bulletin BU-029.

Long Beach spans two California building climate zones. The City's climate zone map places ZIP codes 90805, 90807 and 90808 in Climate Zone 8 and the rest of the city in Climate Zone 6, and the City notes that energy-law requirements differ from one zone to the other.

Exterior changes to homes in Long Beach historic districts, including re-roofing, need a Certificate of Appropriateness before work starts. The certificate does not replace the building permit.

SERVICE-SPECIFIC ANSWERS
Installation primarily concerns a new roof assembly for new construction or an addition. Replacement removes or renews an existing roof. Both need sound detailing, but replacement also involves evaluating concealed existing conditions and removal scope.
Roof design should be coordinated while structural, architectural, drainage, and equipment decisions are still being made. Early coordination reduces the risk of improvised penetrations or transitions after the covering is selected.
A material change can affect structural loads and other assembly requirements. Have the design team evaluate the change before assuming the framing or deck is suitable. Product selection should follow that review.
Responsibility varies by contract and trade scope. Identify who supplies, installs, flashes, and connects each penetration or piece of equipment. Document those responsibilities and how changes are reviewed.
In Long Beach, permits are issued to a licensed contractor with an active Long Beach Business License, or to the homeowner of a one- or two-family dwelling under the City's rules. On a larger construction project, the roofing is usually part of the overall building permit, so confirm responsibilities with your builder.
As early as possible. Roof slope, drainage, ventilation and penetrations are easier to get right on paper than to change after framing.
