Fast, Reliable Roof Installation Across Artesia
Roof installation in Artesia runs from about $11,500 for a standard architectural shingle re-roof on a 1,200-square-foot ranch to $38,000 and up for standing seam metal or tile on larger homes. Most projects take five to ten working days once materials are on site, and we handle the county permitting end to end. If your roof is original to a 1950s or 1960s tract home, you’re likely overdue, and we can tell you exactly what needs replacing before you commit to anything. Call (562) 471-4832 and we’ll walk the roof with you, take measurements, and hand you a written price the same day.
We know Artesia’s streets well: the blocks off Pioneer Boulevard, the homes near Artesia Park, the 90701 ZIP code that runs from the 91 Freeway down to the Cerritos border. We’re not guessing at your neighborhood. We’ve stripped old shake roofs on Alburtis Avenue, matched tile on Corby Avenue, and replaced decking on homes near Padelford Street where 60 years of heat and winter rain did their work. When you call, you’ll talk to a live person who can tell you what to expect before a crew ever pulls up.
Why Crestview Roofing Co Long Beach Is Artesia’s Preferred Roof Installation Company
Dylan Pace started Crestview Roofing in 2000, and the company has built its name on one thing: a written price before any work starts. That matters in Artesia, where so many homes still carry original roofing materials and the last thing a homeowner needs is a quote that balloons after tear-off. We work on the belief that you should know what you’re paying, who’s showing up, and what they’ll do, all before the first truck arrives. The Relay Standard governs every job: a trackable arrival time, before-and-after photos, and a digital invoice sent by text when the work is done.
What we hear from Artesia customers is that they want a roofer who answers the phone. Ours is answered by a real person 24/7. No voicemail loops, no waiting until Monday. And when our uniformed, background-checked technicians arrive, you’ll already know their name and what they look like from the booking details we send ahead. For a city full of mid-century homes with aging roofs, this level of visibility is the difference between a smooth project and a guessing game. Every roof we install carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it’s not done right, we make it right, free, for a full year.

Standing Seam Metal Roof in Artesia
A standing seam metal roof in Artesia is a long-game play: the upfront cost is higher than shingles, but the roof can last 40 to 60 years and handles the city’s intense summer UV without the granule loss that chews up asphalt. For a homeowner on a corner lot off Pioneer Boulevard who plans to stay put, it’s often the last roof they’ll ever pay for. We install standing seam panels over new underlayment, with lock-in clips that let the metal expand and contract as Artesia swings from 95-degree August days to cool, damp January mornings. A typical standing seam project here runs $18,000 to $38,000 depending on roof size, pitch, and whether we’re tearing off old shake or shingle first.
When Metal Makes Sense
Metal earns its premium on low-slope and flat sections where shingles trap water and fail early. Many 1960s Artesia ranchers have exactly those pitches. It also sheds the leaf litter and debris that collects in valleys, a real concern on streets with mature camphor and magnolia trees.
What We Check Before Quoting
Before we quote metal, we verify the decking can carry the panel weight and that the county’s agricultural setback rules won’t affect the roofline. On one ranch-style home off Pioneer Boulevard, our crew found the original shake sagging over rotted decking. We stripped it to the rafters, replaced the decking, laid ice and water shield in the valleys, installed new drip edge and GAF architectural shingles, and added a ridge vent for the home’s first real attic ventilation. The county required us to verify the septic tank’s 5-foot setback from the new roof edge before signing off, which we handled before quoting.
Tile Roof in Artesia
A tile roof in Artesia has to answer for the weight. Concrete and clay tile can run 600 to 1,100 pounds per square, and many 1950s and 1960s ranch homes here were framed for lightweight shake or shingle, not tile. That means a tile installation often includes structural reinforcement, which changes the price and the timeline. A tile roof on a standard Artesia ranch typically runs $22,000 to $40,000, including the permit and any reinforcement the county building department requires. Tile handles Artesia’s UV exposure well and can last 50 years with proper flashing and underlayment.
Reinforcement First, Tile Second
We won’t lay tile over rafters that can’t hold it. On older Artesia homes, that usually means sistering rafters or adding a structural layer before the first tile goes down. We scope this during the estimate so the number we write down is the number you’ll see on the final invoice.
Tile and the County
Because many Artesia lots were originally platted for agricultural use, tile jobs often cross the county building desk with added scrutiny. The inspector wants to see load calculations and, on homes with wells or septics, clearance verification from the roofline. We handle those checks before quoting, so there’s no mid-project surprise.
Trusted Brands We Service in Artesia
We install and service roofing systems from CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and IKO, among others. That choice matters in Artesia, where a mid-century ranch with a low-slope section needs a shingle rated for that pitch, not just whatever is on the shelf. We keep common components staged for fast turnaround on 90701 jobs: drip edge, valley metal, underlayment, and flashing in standard profiles for the tract homes that dominate the city. When a homeowner on Norwalk Boulevard needs a leak fixed before the winter rains, we’re not waiting on a parts order from Texas. The materials are locally available, and the warranty paperwork comes from the manufacturer, not a third party.

AfterCommon Roof Installation Problems We See in Artesia Homes
- Original felt underlayment failing at valleys and penetrations. On 1950s ranch homes with the original roof, the underlayment is often brittle and cracked. Water finds those weak points during winter rain and leaks into the ceiling before you ever see a shingle out of place.
- Missing drip edge causing fascia rot. Many of the original shake roofs in Artesia were installed without metal drip edge. Water wicks back under the shingle at the eaves, rots the fascia board, and invites dry rot into the roof decking.
- Architectural shingles installed on pitches they weren’t rated for. Some cheaper re-roofs in the area put dimensional shingles on low-slope sections that required a different product. Water pools, shingles blister, and the decking underneath pays for the shortcut.
- Agricultural setback surprises at permit time. On homes with lots originally platted for agriculture, the county may require septic and well clearance checks before issuing a roof permit. Roofers who don’t know this quote a price, then come back with a change order. We build it into the estimate from day one.

FAQs About Roof Installation in Artesia
Yes. Homes in Artesia on lots originally platted for agricultural use typically require a county building permit, and that permit process often includes verifying well and septic setbacks from the new roofline. We run those clearance checks during the estimate phase so the permit is clean when we file. Call (562) 471-4832 and we’ll tell you exactly what your address will trigger.
The county requires a 5-foot clearance between the septic tank and the new roof edge on many Artesia properties with agricultural platting. If the tank sits too close to the planned roofline, the plan has to change, and that changes the price. We locate and verify the tank before quoting so there’s no surprise inspection failure later.
Usually not. Most 1960s Artesia ranch homes were framed for lightweight shake or shingle, and standard rafters won’t carry the 600 to 1,100 pounds per square that tile adds. You’ll need a structural evaluation, and in most cases, rafter reinforcement before tile goes on. We include that work in the written estimate. Call (562) 471-4832 and we’ll check your framing before you commit to anything.
Standing seam metal is the strongest performer for Artesia’s climate: it reflects heat, handles thermal expansion, and won’t lose granules under UV the way asphalt does. Tile also holds up well but requires the structure to carry it. For most Artesia budgets, a quality architectural shingle with proper underlayment and drip edge is a solid middle path. We’ll show you all three options with real numbers.
Homes closer to the 91 get more airborne dust and brake residue on the roof surface, which shortens the cosmetic life of lighter shingle colors. We recommend mid-tone shingles on the freeway side of Artesia and we factor wind exposure into fastener schedules. The freeway itself doesn’t change your timeline; get a written quote at (562) 471-4832 and we’ll include the wind zone in the spec.
