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.
- A written report, not a verbal summary
- Whether the fee comes off the job if you proceed
- An estimated number of years left in the covering
- Photographs of anything they flag
- Whether the inspection includes going into the attic
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.
Ask for an estimated remaining life in years, and what would extend it. That answer is the useful part.
Either way, ask for photographs. A report with pictures of your actual roof is worth ten times one with a tick-box condition rating.
Locally
Then, less dramatically: shaded slopes that never really dry out. The north side of a house here ages years faster than the south side, and almost every roof gets replaced because of it.
About inspection here
How much deposit is normal?
A third at most, and never the full amount. Pay the balance when the job is finished and you have walked it. Some states cap the deposit by law.
What time of year is best to re-roof in Rolling Hills Estates?
Here, the long dry run from May to October is the easy window. November through March is when the phone rings hardest, which means less flexibility on dates and less room on price.
Should I repair or replace?
It depends almost entirely on how much life is left in the material. Ask any contractor who inspects it to give you a number of years and a reason. If two of them independently say the same thing, believe it.
I rent. Can I use this?
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.
