Bringing New Life to a 1920s Spanish Revival Roof in Norma Triangle
A longtime homeowner in the heart of Norma Triangle reached out to us after noticing water stains appearing on their dining room ceiling following the winter rains. Their charming 1920s bungalow, nestled on a tree-lined street just steps from Santa Monica Boulevard, had been in the family for decades, and they were determined to preserve its original character.
Our team arrived for a thorough inspection and discovered that the original clay tile roof, while beautiful, had several cracked tiles and deteriorated underlayment that could no longer protect the home. The challenge wasn’t just fixing the roof; it was maintaining the authentic Spanish Revival aesthetic that makes Norma Triangle homes so special.
We carefully sourced matching terra cotta tiles to blend seamlessly with the existing roof, replacing damaged sections while reinforcing the structure with modern waterproofing technology. Working in this walkable, close-knit neighborhood meant being mindful of our neighbors. We kept the work area clean, parked considerately, and completed the project efficiently over four days.
The homeowner was overjoyed with the result: their beloved bungalow looked exactly as it should, but now with the protection and durability to last another generation. Walking down their street today, you’d never know the roof was restored, it looks like it’s been there since 1925, which is exactly what we wanted to achieve.
