“We recently completed a room addition along with a full roof customization, and the results are amazing. The team was professional, organized, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire project. The new room looks like it has always been part of the house, and the new roof was installed perfectly. Highly recommend their services!”

Encino has some of the largest single-family roofs in the San Fernando Valley. The estate streets in Amestoy Estates and Royal Oaks carry big, complex roofs — multiple planes, long valleys, dormers, chimneys and skylights — where the number of flashings matters more than the square footage does. Encino Village and the tracts north toward Burbank Boulevard are more conventional ranch stock on composition shingle. Encino Hills, south of Ventura Boulevard, adds hillside homes, heavy tile and flat mid-century sections.
On a large roof the cost and the risk both live in the details. Valleys collect water and debris from two planes at once; chimney and wall flashings are the most common leak origin on tile roofs; skylight curbs on 1960s and 1970s houses are frequently the original ones. We document each of these with photographs before recommending anything, because on an Encino roof a targeted repair programme is sometimes a better use of money than a full replacement, and sometimes it is the opposite — and you should be able to see which.
Whatever the scope, the work is done under one permit by one company. Sheathing, fascia, rafter tails, skylights, attic ventilation and interior leak damage are all within a general building contractor's licence, so nothing gets handed off mid-project.
American Reliable Construction & Remodeling, Inc. is a licensed California general contractor (CSLB #1155602), bonded, insured and BBB Accredited. Warranty available. Call for details.
- Flashings before field
- On big Encino roofs most leaks start at a chimney, a wall junction, a valley or a skylight rather than in the open field of the roof. We price the flashing work explicitly rather than burying it, because that is where the roof either holds or does not.
- Repair programme versus replacement
- Where a large roof is sound in most planes and failing in a few, a documented repair programme can be the better decision. Where underlayment is at end of life across the whole roof, replacement costs less than repeated access. The written report gives you the evidence for either call.
- Tile on an estate roof
- Clay and concrete tile on Encino homes is heavy, often original, and usually outlasting its underlayment. A lift-and-relay renews everything beneath the tile and keeps the roof looking like the house it belongs to.
- Solar, skylights and future work
- If solar, skylights or an addition are planned, the flashings and penetrations should be designed once. We sequence the roof with that work so you are not cutting a new roof open a year later.
- Encino is within the City of Los Angeles; re-roof permits are issued by LADBS and inspections are required.
- Class A fire-rated assemblies are the standard requirement, and parts of Encino — the hillside streets in Encino Hills south of Ventura Boulevard and up toward Mulholland — fall in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, where ember-resistant vents and additional material requirements may apply. We confirm the classification for your address.
- California Title 24 cool-roof provisions may apply to a re-roof; on large west- and south-facing roofs the reflectivity choice has a measurable effect on summer attic temperatures as well.
- We pull the permit under CSLB #1155602, schedule every inspection and close the permit out. Requirements change, so we verify them with LADBS before the estimate is finalised.
Timeline
Straightforward Encino replacements finish within a week of tear-off, weather permitting. Large multi-plane roofs, tile relays and extensive sheathing repair take longer, and LADBS inspections are scheduled along the way. The assessment includes a written schedule.
Check your address: see which building department handles a re-roof in Encino, and whether CAL FIRE maps the home in a Fire Hazard Severity Zone.
Fire Zone & Permit LookupWhat homeowners say
“I didn't think a bathroom could make that much of a difference until this one was finished. We kept the design pretty timeless with a walk in shower, porcelain tile, and a wood vanity, and it completely changed the feel of the space. It feels cleaner, more open, and just a lot more enjoyable to use every day.”
