Fix the leak right now
Most leaks start at flashing, a vent or a few lifted shingles. Those are usually a patch, not a new roof. Wind lifts shingle tabs, and the next rain finds the gap.
Call now and say it is leaking, so a roofer can tarp or patch it. While you wait, catch the drip and move what can get wet. Take photos inside and out before anything is fixed. Keep the tarp receipt for any claim.

Where leaks start
Leaks most often start around a pipe boot, a chimney or a skylight, where metal flashing meets shingles. Wind lifts shingle tabs and lets rain under them. Hail bruises shingles and knocks off the grit, which speeds up wear.
Los Angeles County had no hail reports in NOAA files from January 2025 on. It did log 28 wind reports.
Repair or replace
A repair makes sense when the damage is in one spot and the rest of the roof is sound. Check age next. InterNACHI puts 3-tab shingles at about 20 years and architectural shingles at 30. A roof near that age with leaks in more than one place is usually ready to replace.
Who licenses roofers here
Roofers in Los Angeles need a California C-39 license. The Los Angeles roofers list shows the license numbers.
Newest change: Since January 1, 2026, a California roofing contract must list the roofer's email address. You can also cancel it by email. (Contractors State License Board)

Questions people ask
How much does a roof repair cost?
It depends on the spot and the roof. Get a written quote that names the part being fixed, then compare it with the full roof cost.
Will insurance pay for a roof repair?
Storm damage is often covered. Wear and old age usually are not. The roof insurance claim steps come first.
Can a roof be repaired in the rain?
A roofer can put a tarp on in light rain. Shingles and flashing go on when the roof is dry. The leak page covers tonight.
When is a repair not worth it?
When the roof is near the end of its life or leaks in more than one place. See how long a roof lasts.
