About the Company
For over 45 years, Nelson The Roofer has been a trusted family name in Los Angeles roofing. Founded by Nelson and now led by his son Norman, a second-generation roofer with 25 years of hands-on experience, this business is built on deep local knowledge and a commitment to lasting solutions. As a family-owned company, we prioritize clear communication, reliable service, and ensuring your roof is repaired or installed correctly the first time. We understand that a quality roof is essential for protecting your Los Angeles home, and we focus on providing professional, efficient work you can count on for years to come. When you need roofing or gutter services, our goal is to resolve your issue thoroughly so you won't need to call another contractor.
Q&A
What's the most common roofing problem you see in Los Angeles homes?
In our decades serving LA, two frequent issues are roof tile slipping from sun exposure and thermal expansion, and moss growth in shaded, damp areas, especially near the coast or under trees. Both can lead to leaks and structural damage if left unchecked. Our detailed inspections identify these specific local problems, and our repairs focus on secure tile replacement and safe moss removal to prevent recurrence, protecting your home's integrity.
As a second-generation roofer, what sets your approach to a new roof installation apart?
Our family's combined 70+ years in LA roofing means we've seen what works and what fails in our specific climate. We don't just install a roof; we plan for the intense sun, occasional heavy rains, and Santa Ana winds. From material selection to ventilation and flashing details, we apply hard-earned, local knowledge to ensure your new roof is durable, efficient, and tailored to withstand the elements you face here, providing true long-term value.
My gutters are leaking. Do you typically repair or recommend a full replacement?
We always start with a thorough inspection to determine the best solution for you. For minor issues like a loose seam or a small hole, a repair is often sufficient and cost-effective. However, if we find widespread corrosion, persistent sagging, or damage from age—common with LA's sun degradation—a replacement with modern, durable materials may be the wiser long-term investment. We'll explain the condition clearly and provide honest recommendations so you can make an informed decision.
