When it comes to protecting your commercial property, few investments are as important as your roofing system. In West Hollywood, where sun, occasional storms, and strict building codes all play a role, choosing the right replacement roofing system can affect not only performance but long-term costs. For many building owners, metal roof replacement offers the durability, efficiency, and modern appeal they’re looking for.

Why a Metal Roof Replacement?
Metal roofing has become a go-to choice for commercial buildings because of its longevity and strength. When properly installed, a metal roof can last 40 to 70 years with minimal maintenance. It resists fire, wind, and moisture, which is especially important in California’s unique climate.
Additionally, metal roofing is energy efficient. Reflective coatings can deflect solar heat, keeping interior temperatures more stable and lowering cooling costs, a big plus in sunny West Hollywood.
Signs It’s Time for Metal Roof Replacement
If your commercial building already has a metal roof that’s aging or was improperly installed, you may start noticing signs it’s time for a replacement. These include:
- Rust or corrosion
- Loose or missing panels
- Frequent leaks
- Failing fasteners or sealants
- Dents or storm damage
- Increasing energy bills
While minor issues can often be repaired, consistent problems often signal the need for a full replacement to maintain building integrity.
The Replacement Process
At Shark Commercial Roofing Systems, our replacement process starts with a detailed inspection and consultation. We evaluate the current roof system, check for structural issues, and make tailored recommendations based on your budget, building use, and long-term goals.
Upon approval, our crew removes the old roofing material and prepares the substrate. We then install your new metal roof system using premium materials, proper underlayment, and precision techniques to ensure a watertight and code-compliant result.
We offer standing seam, corrugated panels, R-panels, and custom-fabricated options to meet aesthetic and performance requirements.

FAQ
What types of metal are best for commercial roof replacement?
Common choices include aluminum (lightweight and corrosion-resistant), galvanized steel (durable and affordable), and Galvalume (steel coated with aluminum-zinc alloy). We’ll recommend the best material based on your location and usage.
Can a new metal roof be installed over my old roof?
In some cases, yes. A “retrofit” system can be installed over an existing flat or metal roof if the structure is sound. This can save time and reduce labor costs. Our inspection will determine if this option is viable.
How long does a metal roof replacement take?
Project timelines vary depending on building size and conditions, but most replacements are completed within 1 to 2 weeks. We work efficiently while minimizing disruption to your business.
