Roofing FAQs

We absolutely do! To help our homeowners with their roofing expense, we offer various options for financing. If you would like more information, please give us a call or send us an email and we would be happy to send over more information.

Make sure that your contractor is licensed, has worker’s compensation and liability insurance. Ask to see a copy of the license and the verification of insurance document.

When it comes to roofing work, there are always going to be unlicensed handymen offering their services, often at a much lower price than a licensed roofing contractor would quote. However, you always get what you pay for. By hiring a low-cost, unlicensed contractor, you are giving up many of the benefits that come with choosing a licensed roofing contractor, and it may even cost you money in the long run.

Another important benefit of working with a licensed roofer is that the CSLB requires licensed contractors to carry insurance. This protects you against being liable for any costs should a worker damage your property or become injured on the job.

Never choose a company based on price. Cheap bids drive down the market and anyone with overhead and proper insurance has to establish pricing to cover such costs. If one estimate seems much lower than the others and it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Those that do work on the side or are just working out of a pick-up truck can always do the work cheaper. But in the long run, you get what you pay for. Customers that are sold on price as their sole criteria ultimately end up spending more money to fix problems, and many of these problems would have been covered under a workmanship guarantee by a reputable established roofing company.

We are pleased to offer our services for new construction projects. Our attention to detail, customized approach, and roofing expertise will help to get the job done right. We start the project with a thorough inspection of your home envelope, so we can properly plan out the roof system and know how to place the deck, how much insulation is needed, and which type of membrane should be used.

Please note, that at this time we are unable to provide estimates based on blueprints. Our team would be more than happy to do a site visit once the framing is complete. This will insure that we provide you with an accurate proposal that covers all project details.

The amount of time it will take to complete your roof project will depend on the size & complexity of your roof, if your old roof needs to be removed, the size of the roofing crew, and unforeseen issues with the roofing system. A small, uncomplicated roof may only take a couple of days to complete whereas a large, complicated roof structure with a number of problems may take more than a week.

• Clear vehicles: please move all cars, boats, campers, etc. out of your garage and driveway from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday-Saturday until the roof is finished.
• Dust, Dirt and Debris: please cover all valuables in your attic, garage, and rooms that have open bean “tongue & groove” cathedral ceilings with no drywall or acoustical ceilings. During the tear-off phase, these areas may be exposed to dust and falling materials.
• Vibrations: please remove or secure any lose items hanging on walls or stored in cabinets. These items may be jarred or shaken loose by vibrations from hammering or loading materials.
• Access: please leave the side gate to the backyard unlocked so we can clean up after the tear-off is finished. If you have pets in your backyard, please leave a note with any special instructions or precautions to be taken by the crew.

Depending on the size and details of your roof, an average inspection will take less than one hour.

For liability purposes, we require the homeowner to be present during the inspection.

During the roof inspection, our Project Manager will climb up on the roof and do a thorough inspection and examine the condition of the roof. They will measure the area, inspect all materials and will generate a report on site. In some occasions, they do need access to the inside of the home to inspect the attic. The report will include all details of the suggested work, price and photos.

We work on all types of roofs that include: Shingles, Tiles, TPO, Modified Bitumen Torch Down and Metal roofs.

We provide free roof inspections and estimates. Whether you have a leak, an old roof, or simply need to find out the condition of your roof, give us a call and we can schedule one of experts to come inspect your roof.

*Special Note:  We do charge a small inspection fee for homes that are for sale or in escrow. Please contact our office for more information.
