What people want to know before they hand over a phone number, and what they ask once the calls start.
Or call (424) 393-1944We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Rolling Hills Estates and the surrounding area.
If you do not hear anything today, check your voicemail and spam folder — contractors often call from a mobile number.
No. Rolling Hills Estates Roof Works is a free matching service. We do not hold a roofing licence, we do not employ crews, and we never come to your house. We pass your request to independent local contractors who do the work and who you hire directly.
Yes. Commercial requests go to contractors who do low-slope and flat systems rather than to residential crews. Say so on the property question and it routes correctly.
Most quotes here for a standard asphalt replacement come in around $13,500 to $29,500. That assumes one layer to remove and sound decking. Every quote you get should say in writing what happens if the decking is not sound.
Rated life and real life are different numbers. Here, salt and sun together tend to take the low end of any rated life. Ventilation and the quality of the installation move that more than the brand does.
Yes. The contractors we match on cover Rolling Hills Estates and the surrounding towns, so if you are just outside the city limits it still works.
Up to three. That is a hard cap, not a guideline. Three is enough to compare and few enough that your phone stays usable.
Often you legally can, and it is usually a poor idea. Overlaying hides the condition of the decking, adds weight, shortens the life of the new shingles by trapping heat, and doubles the cost of the next tear-off.
Move the cars out, take pictures off the top-floor walls, cover anything stored in the attic, and put pets somewhere else for the loud days. Expect nails in the driveway however careful the crew is — ask whether they run a magnet at the end.
Two days is typical for asphalt. Add days for steep pitch, multiple layers to strip, tile work, or a roof with a lot of valleys and penetrations.
Almost certainly, for a full replacement. The contractor should pull it, and the fee should be a visible line on the quote rather than a surprise.
Ten to thirty per cent is ordinary, and is often used to order material. A demand for full payment up front is a reason to walk away.
Practically, the long dry run from May to October. Crews are busiest right after the weather turns — November through March — so booking outside that stretch usually buys you a better date and a keener number.
Rough rule: if the covering has more than about five years left and the damage is confined to one area, repair. If it is at the end of its life or you are patching the third leak in two years, you are paying instalments on a replacement.
Only the owner can approve roofing work. If you are renting, the fastest route is to send this to your landlord or property manager rather than gathering quotes nobody can act on.
Only if it is the same roof. Most large gaps between quotes are scope gaps. Ask the cheapest contractor which of the other quotes items they have left out, and why.
No cost, no obligation, and never more than three contractors.
