West Covina, CA
Get your West Covina roof looked at properly
An inspection is the cheapest thing on this site and the one that saves the most money, because it turns a guess into a number.
Or call (626) 990-2952Describe the inspection job
Three questions, then the address. Up to three West Covina contractors who do this work.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in West Covina and the surrounding area.
- Today, usually within the hour. The first contractor calls or texts the number you gave us. ASAP requests go out first.
- Up to three of them, no more. We cap it at three so you can compare without your phone melting.
- They come and look. Estimates are given after somebody has been on the roof, not over the phone.
- You decide, or you do not. There is nothing to cancel and nothing to pay us.
If you do not hear anything today, check your voicemail and spam folder — contractors often call from a mobile number.
Before you let anybody on the roof
The things worth pinning down on a inspection job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- Whether the fee comes off the job if you proceed
- Whether the inspection includes going into the attic
- Photographs of anything they flag
- An estimated number of years left in the covering
- A written report, not a verbal summary
A thorough look covers the covering, the flashings, the penetrations, the gutters, the ventilation and the attic side of the deck. If nobody went into the attic, half the inspection did not happen.
Either way, ask for photographs. A report with pictures of your actual roof is worth ten times one with a tick-box condition rating.
The point of an inspection is not to find a disaster. It is to find the two hundred dollar problem before it becomes a twelve thousand dollar one.
Locally
Behind it: wind-blown embers landing in the valleys. Class A assemblies and closed-off vents matter more here than the colour of the shingle.
About inspection here
Is this really free?
It is free to you. Contractors pay to receive homeowner requests in their area. That is the entire business model, and we would rather say so plainly than pretend otherwise.
How long does a re-roof take?
A straightforward asphalt roof on an average house is one to three days. Tile, slate and complex rooflines take longer, and weather stops work more often than anything else.
Are gutters included in a re-roof?
Usually not, unless the quote says so. If they are near the end of their life, replacing them during the re-roof is meaningfully cheaper than doing it later, because the crew and the staging are already there.
What if the decking is rotten underneath?
Some of it usually is. The important thing is that the price per sheet is agreed in writing before the tear-off, so the conversation on day two is about quantity rather than rate.
