Santa Monica roofs live in salt air and a marine layer that lingers most of the year. North of Montana holds 1920s–40s Spanish, Tudor, and Colonial homes on large lots, many with clay tile or slate and many rebuilt with modern flat roofs. Sunset Park and Ocean Park have 1920s–50s cottages and bungalows on small lots, and the Mid-City and Pico neighborhoods carry a large stock of rent-controlled apartment buildings with flat roofs.
Corrosion is the constant, and flat-roof membranes on apartments are the volume. Santa Monica also has an active Landmarks Commission, so visible changes on designated properties need review. We handle the permit, the review when it applies, and coastal-grade materials on every job.
