Palos Verdes Estates was planned in the 1920s by the Olmsted brothers with Mediterranean architecture and red clay tile written into the deed restrictions — and the Palos Verdes Homes Association Art Jury still reviews exterior changes, including roofing materials and colors, on every home. Malaga Cove, Lunada Bay, Valmonte, and Montemalaga hold 1920s–60s homes whose clay tile roofs are among the oldest on the Peninsula.
That means most PVE roofing is tile lift-and-relay: preserve the original clay tile, replace underlayment and flashings that have been in place for 60–90 years, and use copper or coated metal that withstands the salt air off the bluffs. We prepare the Art Jury submittal and handle the city permit.

PALOS VERDES ESTATES ROOFING FAQ
Do you handle the Art Jury process?
Yes — we prepare tile samples, specifications, and photos for the Palos Verdes Homes Association review.
Can original 1920s clay tile be saved?
In most cases, yes. Old clay tile is durable; the underlayment and flashings beneath it are what fail.
