Lakewood is a city of 1950s tract ranches, and those low-pitched shingle roofs are hitting the end of the road. Drive through Lakewood Village or the streets off Del Amo Boulevard and you'll see the same thing: original composition roofs that have survived decades of marine layer mornings and dry Santa Ana winds, now curling at the edges and losing granules.
Homeowners in 90713 call Long Beach Metal Roofing because we know this housing stock inside and out. We've worked on these low-slope ranches from Mayfair to the Lakewood Country Club area, and we know how to retrofit metal over shingles without creating drainage problems. If your roof is due, call (562) 685-9725 for a free inspection.
Metal Roofing in Lakewood (90713)
Lakewood's flat coastal plain and tight tract lots create specific challenges. The original 1950s ranches often have low-pitch roofs with minimal attic ventilation, which means any retrofit has to account for condensation and heat buildup. Lot lines are close, so staging materials and maneuvering crews requires planning, especially on streets near Mayfair Park where parking is limited. The salt air from the coast isn't as aggressive as in Belmont Shore, but it still works on fasteners and flashing, and the dry Santa Ana winds that funnel through the region can loosen panels over time. We also see a lot of original roof-to-wall flashing that has failed, so we always inspect and replace it during installation.
Our team has been serving Lakewood and the surrounding Long Beach area for years. We understand the permitting process through the City of Lakewood and can help you navigate it. Whether you're upgrading a ranch near Lakewood Center or repairing a metal roof on a commercial building along Carson Street, we bring the same attention to detail.

How a Job Works in Lakewood
Step 1: You call (562) 685-9725 or request a free estimate online. We schedule an on-site assessment at your convenience, typically within a few days. We'll inspect your existing roof, check the attic and flashing, and discuss your options, from a full replacement to a retrofit over shingles. You get a written estimate with no pressure.
Step 2: Once you approve, we pull the necessary permits from the City of Lakewood and schedule the work. On installation day, our crew arrives early to beat the afternoon heat. For tight lots, we coordinate with neighbors for material staging and use compact equipment where needed. If your home is in an HOA, we'll provide the documentation they require for approval. Most residential roofs take two to five days depending on size and complexity.
Step 3: After installation, we do a thorough cleanup, including magnet sweeping for nails and debris removal. We walk the roof with you to show you the finished work and answer any questions. We don't consider the job done until you're satisfied.
Pricing for metal roofing in Lakewood depends on the size and pitch of your roof, the material you choose, and the condition of the existing structure. For a typical 1,500-square-foot ranch, metal roof installation starts around $8 per square foot, while standing seam runs about $10 per square foot. A retrofit over existing shingles can start at $7 per square foot, which is often the most cost-effective option for Lakewood's 1950s homes. Repairs, such as fixing a leak or replacing fasteners, start at $450. We provide free estimates and will give you a clear, itemized quote so you know exactly what you're paying for. Call (562) 685-9725 to schedule yours.
