We know Paramount’s housing stock well. The homes here were built mostly between the 1950s and 1970s, which means shallow-pitch roofs, attached garages with flat sections, and composition shingles that have been cooking under inland sun for decades. That’s a different job than what you’d see in newer neighboring cities. We plan for it before we ever tear anything off.

Why Koreatown Roofing Is Paramount’s Preferred Roof Replacement Company

Koreatown Roofing is a roofing-only contractor, not a generalist who picks up roofing work between kitchen remodels. Every job we take on in Paramount is a roofing job. That focus means our crews know exactly what they’re walking into when they arrive at a 1960s tract home with a low-slope addition over the back bedroom and a shared property line six feet from the neighbor’s wall.

We’re rooted in the community, and our reputation depends on how we handle jobs in neighborhoods like the ones off Somerset Boulevard and Garfield Avenue. When we quote a roof in Paramount, we’re quoting a roof on a street where neighbors talk to each other. That matters. We don’t send rotating crews from a call center. The people who inspect your roof are the same people who replace it.

Manny Cordero personally reviews every Paramount estimate before it goes out. If there’s a flashing detail at the property line that needs attention, it’s in the written scope, not discovered later as a surprise. That’s the kind of accountability you get from a company whose name is tied to the neighborhoods it serves.

Asphalt Shingle Roof Replacement in Paramount

Asphalt shingle roof replacement is the most common job we do in Paramount, and on the mid-century single-story homes that dominate this city, it usually means a full tear-off down to the decking. A typical asphalt shingle roof replacement in Paramount runs $9,800 to $14,500, depending on square footage, roof complexity, and what the tear-off uncovers. Most homes here have original or once-replaced composition shingles that are past their useful life.

The sun is relentless on the south LA County plain. Shingles on Paramount roofs don’t just wear out from rain; they bake, dry out, and lose their granule surface over decades of UV exposure. By the time we’re called, curling, cracking, and bare spots are the norm. We replace the full system: underlayment, edge metal, shingles, and ventilation where needed.

Decking and Underlayment on Older Homes

When we tear off an old Paramount roof, we often find the original 1×6 skip sheathing has delaminated or rotted in spots. On a job near the intersection of Paramount Boulevard and Alondra Boulevard, our crew tore off three layers of aging composition shingles and found exactly that. The 1950s-era sheathing was failing and the fascia was soft from years of winter rain exposure. We replaced 12 linear feet of fascia, installed new 7/16-inch OSB decking, laid down GAF Tiger Paw underlayment, and finished with CertainTeed Landmark architectural shingles, all after pricing the decking and fascia repairs in writing and getting the homeowner’s approval before we ordered materials.

That’s how we handle every asphalt shingle job in Paramount. Nothing gets added to the bill without a written change order.

Architectural Shingle Options

Most Paramount homeowners choose architectural shingles when they’re replacing an old three-tab roof. They hold up better to heat cycling and give the home a deeper shadow line. We offer architectural options from GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning, so you’re not locked into whatever one manufacturer happens to have in stock. The choice should fit the job and your budget, not our supplier relationships.

New Roof Installation in Paramount

New roof installation in Paramount is less common than re-roofing, because the city’s housing stock is overwhelmingly mid-century rather than newly built. But when we do new roof installation here, it’s typically for an addition, a garage that was never properly roofed, or a full tear-off where the existing structure needs a complete rebuild. A new roof installation on an addition or detached structure in Paramount typically runs $10,000 to $17,000, with full-home new roof installations starting around $13,000 and going up from there based on size and roof geometry.

New construction in Paramount means working on compact lots where access is tight and material staging is a real consideration. We’ve done new roof installs on homes within earshot of the 710 and 105 freeway corridors, and we plan deliveries and crane access accordingly. You don’t want a roofing crew blocking a shared driveway in a neighborhood where every foot of curb counts.

Roof Decking Replacement on New Installs

When a new roof goes on, the decking underneath has to be right. On many Paramount homes, the original decking is skip-sheathed 1×6 boards that don’t meet current attachment standards for modern shingle systems. We replace damaged or undersized decking before laying underlayment, so the new roof has a solid nailing surface. That detail is often skipped by contractors who want to get shingles down fast.

Flat and Low-Slope Sections

Many Paramount homes have flat or low-slope sections over garages, carports, or rear additions. A new roof installation that includes a flat section requires either modified bitumen or a proper low-slope shingle application, not just shingles laid over a shallow pitch. We address those sections as part of the overall system, so you’re not patching a leak six months after the main roof is replaced.

Trusted Brands We Service in Paramount

We work with the brands you already trust. On Paramount roofs, we frequently install GAF, CertainTeed, and Owens Corning products, and we can also source Boral, IKO, Atlas, and Tamko if the job calls for them. Seven manufacturers means we’re not married to one supplier. If a certain shingle profile fits your home’s style and your budget better than another, that’s what we quote. We stock common components for Paramount jobs and have fast turnaround on materials from our local suppliers, which keeps a replacement moving on schedule.

Common Roof Replacement Problems We See in Paramount Homes

• Failed flashing at shared property lines and parapets. On Paramount’s tight lots, a single unresolved leak at a low-slope section near the property line can read as a problem on the neighbor’s side. We treat parapet and edge flashing as the make-or-break detail on every replacement, because that’s where water gets in and where blame gets assigned.
• Undersized or damaged framing discovered only after tear-off. Homes built in the 1950s through 1970s often have framing that was barely adequate when new. Decades of heat and occasional rain have left some rafters and fascia boards soft or split. If we don’t inspect before bidding, you’ll be hit with a change order. We inspect first and write allowances into the contract.
• Ponding on flat sections over additions and garages. Flat and low-slope sections are common on Paramount homes. When scuppers clog and underlayment deteriorates, water ponds and finds its way inside during the first real winter rain. These sections need attention during a full replacement, not just a patch over the old surface.
• Multiple layers of old shingles. It’s not unusual to find two or three layers of old composition shingles on a Paramount roof. That adds weight, hides decking damage, and complicates a proper tear-off. A full replacement means getting down to the decking and starting clean.
