J L.: Joseph and his crew did a fantastic job from start to finish. Our ADU unit was completed beautifully, including two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a complete roof replacement. The craftsmanship is excellent, the team was professional and respectful, and the worksite stayed clean. We're extremely happy with the results and highly recommend them!

What is a cool roof?

A cool roof is designed to reflect more of the sun's energy and emit more heat than a standard roof. This is measured by Solar Reflectance Index (SRI) — the higher the SRI, the more reflective the roof. Cool roofs can lower roof surface temperature by up to 50°F and reduce interior cooling costs.

Title 24 requirements in Los Angeles

California's Title 24 energy code requires cool-rated roofing on most low-slope and steep-slope reroofs in many Los Angeles climate zones. The specific SRI requirement depends on your climate zone, roof slope, and whether the roof is over conditioned space. We verify the requirements for your address and jurisdiction before specifying materials.

  • Low-slope roofs (≤2:12) typically require higher SRI ratings
  • Steep-slope roofs (>2:12) have lower SRI thresholds in some zones
  • Requirements vary by climate zone — we check for your address
  • Local city rules (e.g., LADBS) may add additional requirements

Cool roof materials we install

We install a range of cool-rated roofing products that meet Title 24 requirements:

  • Cool-rated architectural shingles (GAF Timberland Cool Series)

  • Reflective tile and coating systems

PACE is a private financing option secured by a lien on your property, repaid through your property tax bill. Eligibility is confirmed per address by the program administrator. The City of Los Angeles and Burbank are among the participating jurisdictions.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cool roof and how does it work?

A cool roof reflects more sunlight and emits more heat than a standard roof, measured by its Solar Reflectance Index (SRI). By reflecting solar energy, the roof surface stays cooler, which reduces heat transfer into the home and lowers air conditioning costs.

Does Title 24 require a cool roof on my home?

In much of Los Angeles, Title 24 requires cool-rated roofing on most reroofs. The specific requirement depends on your climate zone, roof slope, and whether the roof covers conditioned space. We verify the requirements for your address and jurisdiction before specifying materials.

How much does a cool roof cost in Los Angeles?

The cost depends on the roof size, the material chosen, and whether the existing roof needs a full tear-off. Cool-rated shingles and coatings are comparable in cost to standard materials. We inspect the roof and give you a free written estimate with each item listed.

Is PACE financing available for cool roofs?

Yes, PACE financing through Renew Financial may be available for qualifying cool roof installations. PACE is private financing secured by a lien on your property and repaid through your property tax bill. Eligibility is confirmed per address. The City of Los Angeles and Burbank are among participating jurisdictions.
