With over 4,000+ roofs installed and more than 700+ five-star reviews, homeowners consistently choose NEMA Roofing for reliable service, local expertise, and long-lasting results. You do not have to take any contractor’s word for this kind of thing: a state license can be looked up on the Contractors State License Board website in a minute, and ours (#1083283) shows its classifications, the contractor’s bond and the workers’ compensation policy on file.
What began in Ventura and Santa Barbara has now grown into one of the most respected roofing companies in Southern California, built on word-of-mouth referrals and over 700+ five-star reviews. With more than 4,000+ successful roof installations, homeowners continue to choose NEMA Roofing for our expertise and customer care.
The work covers the whole life of a roof: an inspection that tells you where it stands, repairs for leaks and storm damage, maintenance that keeps small problems small, and a replacement or new installation when the roof has reached the end of its useful life.




As a family-owned business led by a military veteran, we bring the same discipline, integrity, and attention to detail to every project that we bring to serving our country. Our hand-selected and highly trained technicians follow strict safety protocols on every job site, ensuring protection for your home, our team, and your family.
From specialized fall-prevention equipment to ongoing safety training, our crews are committed to doing the job right the first time, every time.


We take pride in our quality work performed by our in-house crew.

This elite status means our team has been rigorously vetted for licensing, insurance, ongoing training, and a proven track record of exceptional installation quality.
What the credentials change for you is the warranty. As a GAF Master Elite contractor, NEMA can register every GAF enhanced warranty, including the Golden Pledge Limited Warranty, the GAF warranty that adds GAF-backed coverage for installation workmanship. As an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor, NEMA can register the Owens Corning Preferred Protection warranty, which includes workmanship coverage.

Most calls start with a leak or an aging roof. A leak on a roof that is otherwise sound usually needs a roof repair. Repeated leaks, brittle or bare shingles, cracked tiles across several slopes or a deck that feels soft underfoot usually point to a roof replacement. If you cannot tell which one you are facing, start with a roof inspection: it shows what needs fixing now and what can wait. Each card below says in one line when that service is the right call, and tile roofs have their own page on tile roofing in Santa Barbara.
Flat and low-slope roofs on offices, shops, warehouses and apartment buildings: leak repair, recoating, full membrane replacement, and the cool-roof rule California applies to a commercial re-roof.
Roofing products rated to reflect sunlight and shed heat. Inland (Ojai, Westlake Village, Woodland Hills, Riverside, San Bernardino) most house re-roofs must be cool-rated; on the Santa Barbara and Ventura coast the rule covers low-slope roofs.
Ponding water, split seams and blistered membranes on flat and low-slope roofs. The repair starts by finding where the water really enters, and ends with a straight answer on whether a new membrane is the better buy.
Cool-rated membranes and shingles, and roofs made ready before solar panels go on. The right choice depends on the roof’s slope, its climate zone and your plans for the house.
Standing-seam and other metal roofs for homes and businesses: light, long-lived, and a common choice on lots where state fire rules call for a Class A roof.
When leaks keep coming back, the shingles are brittle or bare, or the deck feels soft underfoot, a new roof is often better value than another repair. See what a replacement includes and how to compare bids.
Active leak or storm damage? Call 805-977-5949. The first job is to stop the water; the permanent repair follows once the damage is understood. Photograph everything before it is moved: your insurer will ask.
An inspection tells you what you have: the state of the covering, flashing, drains and deck, what needs attention now and what can wait. Worth doing before you buy, sell or add solar panels.
Clearing drains and gutters, resealing flashing and replacing the odd broken tile or shingle during the dry months, before the first heavy rain finds the weak spot.
Re-shingling replaces the shingle layer over a sound roof deck. Whether the old layer has to come off, and which shingle suits the house, is covered on the roof replacement page.
Leaks, missing or cracked shingles and tiles, and failed flashing at chimneys, skylights and vents. A good repair finds the entry point, which is often several feet from the stain on the ceiling.
How to check a roofing company before you sign: look up its state license on the CSLB website, read what its Google reviews say about real jobs, and ask who will actually work on your roof.
Five Google-verified NEMA locations (Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Downey) and full coverage of all five counties we serve. See the towns we cover, what the first visit looks like and the questions worth asking any roofing contractor.
New roofs for new homes and additions: shingle, tile, metal or low-slope systems, chosen for the roof’s slope, its climate zone and the fire rules that apply to the lot.
Three things decide how a roofing job goes: who holds the license, what the manufacturer will stand behind, and how the price and the paperwork are handled. Here is where NEMA stands on each.

Three local conditions shape most roofing decisions on the South Coast, and they are worth knowing before you compare bids.
The State Fire Marshal maps 511,662 acres of Santa Barbara County as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. California’s wildland-urban interface rules (Chapter 7A of the California Building Code) require Class A roof assemblies in fire hazard severity zones, and the state applies its roofing rules throughout the State Responsibility Area whatever the zone’s rank. The zones are drawn from fuel, terrain and fire weather, not town lines, which is why the address lookup matters. Look your address up on the State Fire Marshal’s Fire Hazard Severity Zone page before you pick a material, or ask us to check it during the assessment.
California’s Energy Code places Santa Barbara, Goleta, Carpinteria and Montecito in building climate zone 6, together with Ventura, Oxnard and Camarillo. Ojai, Santa Paula, Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks ZIP codes 91358 to 91362 and the Woodland Hills, Tarzana and Encino area are in zone 9. Under the 2025 Energy Code, in force since January 1, 2026, re-roofing a sloped roof on a house in zone 9 calls for a cool-rated product (aged solar reflectance of at least 0.20 and thermal emittance of at least 0.75) unless one of the code’s exceptions applies. In zone 6 that rule covers low-slope roofs only. The cool roofing page walks through the numbers and the exceptions.
Close to the ocean, exposed fasteners, flashing and metal edges corrode sooner than the same parts on an inland roof, so they deserve a close look at every inspection. And because the dry months hide weak spots that the first heavy rain exposes, late summer and early fall are the practical time to have a roof checked and small repairs done.
Before you sign with any roofer in California, make two quick checks. Look the license up on the Contractors State License Board website and confirm it is active and carries the roofing (C-39) classification. And know that state law limits the down payment on a home improvement contract to 10 percent of the contract price or one thousand dollars, whichever is less.
Yes. CSLB license #1083283 is current and active with the roofing (C-39) and general building (B) classifications, and the state board has a contractor’s bond and a workers’ compensation policy on file for it.
Both. Many roofs need one well-placed repair, not a new roof. When the covering has worn out across the whole roof, a replacement is the better use of the money, and the assessment tells you which case you are in.
All of Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. NEMA has five Google-verified locations, in Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Woodland Hills, Tarzana and Downey, so a team is near every town we serve. The full list of towns is on our service areas page.
Yes, including flat and low-slope roofs on offices, retail and apartment buildings. See commercial roofing.
It depends on the building’s climate zone and the roof’s slope. On a house in coastal Santa Barbara (zone 6), a new sloped roof does not have to be cool-rated, but a new low-slope roof does, unless an exception applies. Inland, in zone 9, most sloped re-roofs on houses must be cool-rated too.
Yes, financing is available. Call 805-977-5949 and ask for the current options.
Here in NEMA Roofing. We are always happy to hear when our clients feel satisfied. Here is what some of them have said:
EXCELLENT Based on 431 reviews Posted on Google Natalya SanchezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We got several quotes and Nema Roofing was the best. No games like a few guys we got estimates from before them who started with very high prices and then made phone calls to the "boss" to get us a different price. Nema Roofing gave us a fast, fair quote and a work list detailing the work we needed. Honest and relaxed and everything explained up front. That is what I was looking for and they delivered. We are so happy with the new roof. They did everything from demo to completion in 3 days on a house and garage. The team worked efficiently and left our yard clean. The new roof looks great and beyond expectations. I would happily refer this team to any friends or family looking to have some roofing work done.Posted on Google Beatrice LodiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would recommend NEMA for flat roof work after they did the one over my garage and ADU. I reached out to Adam a few months back and got about 4 other quotes too. He stood out from the rest because he made the pricing and scope very clear and said he would take care of the whole thing. Worried a lil bit about El Niño and didn’t want to save for a rainy day. The actual work took 3 days just like he told me. Day 1 they tore off the old roof, day 2 they dropped off supplies after the inspection, and day 3 they finished the roof. There was just one extra day for the final inspection and sign off.Posted on Google Alyson ZabalaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Knowing that the roof was installed properly and with care is so important when making this huge investment in your property. We are very happy with our decision to select Nema Roofing from all the vendors we met with. Mike and Melvin were a pleasure to work with, both very communicative throughout the project. They set clear and realistic expectations and completed the job within the estimated time frame. They followed up on all pending items, and a couple of weeks later, we received our manufacturer roof warranty. Soup to nuts service that I highly recommend. Thank you Nema Roofing!Posted on Google not kevinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After getting 9 quotes for a roof installation, I checked the BBB and only two companies were registered, one being Nema Roofing. When I compared materials and warranties, they offered the best value for the money, so I went with a full reroof. Adam handled the removal and reinstall of my 22 solar panels through a certified solar company so my warranty stayed intact. His guys also fixed the bowl in my flat roof and added proper slope for drainage. Professional, on time, beautiful work. I'll 1000% recommend them. Ask for Adam!Posted on Google Emily GomezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I noticed a neighbor getting a brand new commercial TPO roof installed on his property, and it looked sharp. I spoke with him about the crew, and he had nothing but great things to say about their work. Our own roofing job went just as smoothly. We ended up going with a sleek metal roofing installation, and the finished product looks incredible. Mike was our project manager, and he was fantastic from day one. He kept us fully informed throughout the entire process and whenever we had questions he always knew what to say and do. Nema is one of the best in the city!Posted on Google Aleen JivalagianTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nema ROOFING is a breath of fresh air in the sometimes unreliable world of roofing contractors. They replaced the underlayment and flashing on the tile roof on my 2,600 square foot house in Santa Barbara, set the clay tiles aside and then put them back without damage or problems. They added 3 attic vents at my request at minimal cost. They found a termite area and cause of a leak, showed me the condition and replaced the plywood. Melvin responded quickly to my calls and inquiries, explained things clearly, and his team did the work on time and a fair price! They know what they are doing.Posted on Google Jessica KhalilTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great experience getting our roof replaced with Adam and the crew at Nema Roofing. He made the whole process simple by taking care of all the city inspections and permits from start to finish. He kept us in the loop every step of the way and answered every question we had without rushing us. The crew always showed up right on time, paid close attention to detail, and did a thorough sweep of the yard and driveway so we didn’t find any random nails lying around afterwards. Working with them was completely stress free, and Adam made sure we were 100% happy with the work before finishing up.Posted on Google Le’Nora ClariceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This review is long overdue! Nema Roofing completed a new roof along with five skylights on my house 3 months ago! Mike and his crew did an excellent job on a difficult roof. One roofing contractor, who is highly rated online, turned it down because it was too steep! True!!! My roof has a lot of sharp angles requiring skill in cutting the shingles combined with, yes, the steep roof in putting the puzzle together. Mike is on the roof daily working alongside his crew who are skilled and hardworking. He replaced old composite shingles with the new black DaVinci shingles that improved the look of the house immensely. We are very happy with the finished roof and the process after working with them. I highly recommend you call him for any roofing matters.Posted on Google Jennifer VasquezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very pleased with the work done by Nema Roofing. Adam, Mike, Thomas, and the entire crew are hard working pros! I now realize what an incredibly complex job it is to coordinate all the repairs, discarding old materials, reroofing, acquiring permits and supplies and the whole time being respectful of my property. Adam walked me through the entire roofing process and answered all my questions. I recommend Nema to anyone looking for reliable, honest, fully licensed and insured professionals.
