NEMA Roofing’s service areas are five Southern California counties: Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside. NEMA has five Google-verified locations, in Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Woodland Hills, Tarzana and Downey, and fully covers all five counties with a team near every town it serves; we repair, replace and install roofs on homes and commercial buildings across them; call 866-631-3366 for an inspection. Who permits a roof, which climate zone applies and how old the housing is all change from county to county, so each county below links to the pages with its local rules.
| Location | Address | County |
|---|---|---|
| Santa Barbara | 7 W Figueroa St | Santa Barbara |
| Oxnard | 300 E Esplanade Dr | Ventura |
| Woodland Hills | service area (no public office address) | Los Angeles |
| Tarzana | 18340 Ventura Blvd | Los Angeles |
| Downey | 8211 Firestone Blvd | Los Angeles |
Every served town in Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside counties is covered by a NEMA team nearby; the county sections below link to the local rules for each area.

NEMA’s Santa Barbara office is at 7 W Figueroa St in Santa Barbara, and we work across the south coast: Goleta, Carpinteria and Montecito. Goleta and Carpinteria run their own building departments. In unincorporated areas the County’s Building and Safety Division exempts from permits only roof repairs under 100 square feet in a 12-month period and approved roof coatings, and in Montecito the Fire Protection District requires every new or replacement roof to be Class A, with a full reroof once more than 10% of the roof area is replaced.
Each Ventura County city issues its own permits, and the County’s Resource Management Agency covers the unincorporated areas, where the list of work exempt from permits has no roofing item. Our Ventura County roofing page compares the cities’ rules, climate zones and fire zones; the town pages cover Oxnard, Camarillo, Thousand Oaks, Santa Paula and Ojai.
In the City of Los Angeles the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety permits reroofs; in unincorporated areas and contract cities such as Westlake Village, Los Angeles County Public Works does. The two have different reroof rules, set out on our Los Angeles roofing page; the neighborhood pages cover Woodland Hills, Tarzana and Encino.
San Bernardino County runs from the valley cities to the high desert and the mountains, and a roof has to suit each: our San Bernardino County roofing page compares the three regions’ weather, climate zones and fire zones. In the unincorporated county, San Bernardino County Land Use Services lists re-roofing among the work that requires a building permit.
In unincorporated Riverside County, the County’s Building and Safety Department issues a re-roof permit for installing, replacing, altering or repairing a roof covering. Its permit form sets out the rules plainly:
