Roofing Service in Los Alamitos
Alpha & Omega Roofing has been roofing houses and commercial buildings in this corner of the county since 1960, and Los Alamitos is part of that territory. It is a locally owned and locally operated company, and the crews are licensed, bonded and insured. Los Alamitos is a small city with a wide spread of building ages, so a quote here starts with what is actually on your roof rather than with an assumption about the street. We handle repairs, annual maintenance, inspections and full replacements on houses, apartment buildings and commercial properties. We also serve nearby Cypress and Long Beach.

Roofing Options for Every Style & Budget
Shingles
Dimensional Shingles
Dimensional shingles are laminated in layers, so they sit thicker and cast shadow lines that read as texture from the street. The extra bonded surface is also why they hold up better in wind than a flat three-tab.
Fiberglass Shingles
Fiberglass shingles use a glass-fiber mat, which keeps them light and gives them a stronger fire rating. They are a practical covering for residential roofs on older framing, where weight saved on the covering is weight the structure never has to carry.
Asphalt Shingles
Asphalt shingles are the least expensive way to put a warrantied roof on a building, and they go down quickly. The material is stocked locally and easy to match, so a repair later is a short job rather than a special order.
Tile
Lightweight Tiles
Lightweight tile gives a house the tile profile without the load. On a 1950s or 1960s Los Alamitos home with original framing, it is usually the only way to get there without engineering work first.
Concrete Tiles
Concrete tile is dense, wind-resistant and long-lived, and the profiles run from flat to barrel. Whether your building can carry it depends on the framing, so that check comes before the quote.
Clay Tiles
Clay tile is fired so the color is permanent, and individual pieces can be lifted and replaced without disturbing the rest of the roof. It is the heaviest of the common options, which is why the structure is assessed first.

Roof Repairs in Los Alamitos, CA
A leak shows up on the inside a long way from where the water got in. Our roofers start at the stain, work back up the framing and open only what has to be opened. In Los Alamitos the usual culprits are flashing at a wall or chimney, a dried-out pipe collar, split valley metal, and shingles that lost their seal during a wind event. Soft sheathing is replaced while the covering is open. You get photographs of the failure and of the finished repair.
Roof Maintenance in Los Alamitos, CA
Small maintenance is what keeps a roof out of the replacement conversation for another few years. Our visits clear the valleys and gutters, reseal exposed fasteners, refasten loose ridge and hip pieces, and replace the components that fail first. Each visit ends in a short report with photographs. An annual agreement sets the schedule so the visits happen ahead of the rain rather than after the first leak.
Roof Inspections in Los Alamitos, CA
Have the roof inspected before a sale, before an insurance renewal and after a storm. We check the covering, the flashing, the penetrations, the drainage and the attic side, then put it in writing with photographs, an estimate of remaining life and a split between what needs doing now and what can be scheduled. Buyers, agents and carriers all ask for that documentation, and having it ready keeps a transaction moving.
Re-Roofing in Los Alamitos, CA
A full roof replacement is worth doing once repairs start arriving faster than the seasons. We tear off to the wood deck, replace sheathing that has softened, and renew edge metal, valleys, vents and flashing before the new system goes down. On a larger building the City waste management paperwork has to be approved before the permit is issued, so that is the first thing we start. Before the crew arrives you will have the material list, the schedule and the warranty terms in writing.
License and Manufacturer Certifications
Alpha & Omega Roofing, Inc. holds California contractor license #C39-857106. We hold current manufacturer certifications with GAF, Malarkey, Owens Corning, CertainTeed, Versico, FiberTite, and DOW, covering steep-slope shingle and tile work as well as single-ply commercial systems. Those certifications let us register manufacturer-backed warranties of up to 20 years on material and workmanship. We carry workers’ compensation and liability insurance, and our customer reviews are published on the site.
We specify cool-roof rated products that meet the Title 24 aged solar reflectance and thermal emittance values, from the manufacturer lines we are certified to install.
What Los Alamitos Homeowners Should Know Before a Reroof
Los Alamitos issues building permits through the Building and Safety Division of Community Development at 3191 Katella Avenue. The City has been enforcing the 2025 edition of the California Building Standards Code since January 1, 2026, and plan submittals, fees and inspection requests all run through the City online permit center.
The Los Alamitos rule that decides how much paperwork your roof job carries is a square footage threshold. Under Chapter 8.13 of the Municipal Code, a covered project is any construction, demolition or renovation project of 2,500 square feet or more that needs a building permit, and a covered project has to submit a waste management plan showing that at least 50 percent of the debris will be diverted. Section 8.13.050 is blunt about the consequence: no building permit is issued for a covered project until the waste management plan has been approved. A project under 2,500 square feet is a non-covered project, encouraged to divert but not required to file the plan. A second City requirement catches people at the end of the job rather than the start, because contractors and subcontractors need a City business license and the building inspector will not finalize a project without the completed sub-contractor list kept on site.
Los Alamitos housing spans four decades rather than one. Census figures for 2020 to 2024 give a median year built of 1970, with 17.2 percent of units from the 1950s, 28.2 percent from the 1960s, 21.2 percent from the 1970s and 70.5 percent built before 1980. On a roof that old the tear-off is where the surprises are, which is why your estimate should say in advance what happens if the deck needs work.
Los Alamitos falls in California Building Climate Zone 8 under Title 24. Seal Beach, next door at ZIP 90740, is Zone 6, so the cool-roof values that apply there are not the values that apply to a roof in Los Alamitos.
