South Los Angeles holds the largest concentration of pre-war housing in the city: 1900s–30s Craftsman and Victorian homes in West Adams and Jefferson Park — both HPOZ districts — Spanish bungalows with flat parapet roofs across Vermont Square, Florence, and Watts, and 1940s–50s homes in Hyde Park, Crenshaw, and Leimert Park. Baldwin Hills and the adjacent unincorporated View Park–Windsor Hills add mid-century hillside homes.
Parapet-roof membranes replacing decades-old tar-and-gravel, layered-shingle tear-offs, Craftsman and Victorian roofline work, HPOZ submittals in West Adams and Jefferson Park, and cool-roof compliance are our South LA services.
