Step 1 of 6

What best describes your home?

Different buildings need different crews, so this is the first thing a roofer asks.

Nothing is charged and nothing is booked.

01

Are you a roofing company?

No, and it matters that we say so. We are a referral service, not a contractor. The roofing work, the licence, the insurance and the warranty all sit with the independent company you choose.

02

Is this really free?

Yes. You pay nothing, now or later. Roofing contractors pay us for the introduction, which is why the service costs you nothing and why we are upfront that it is how we make money.

03

How many contractors will contact me?

No more than three. We picked that number because two quotes is not enough to spot an outlier and five is an ordeal.

04

I have solar panels. What happens to them?

They come off and go back on, and that is a separate cost, often handled by the solar installer rather than the roofer. If the roof is near the end of its life, do the roof first — removing and refitting panels twice is money wasted.

05

Do you handle commercial buildings?

We do. It is a different set of contractors — commercial and low-slope work is a separate trade from residential re-roofing — so answering the property question accurately matters.

06

What warranty should I expect?

Two separate things. The manufacturer covers the material for its rated life, but only if it was installed to their specification. The contractor covers workmanship, commonly five to ten years, and only for as long as they are trading.

07

Why does ventilation keep coming up?

It is the most under-sold part of a roof. Trapped heat and moisture shorten shingle life, warp decking, and in cold weather it is what turns snow into an ice dam.

08

Do you cover the whole Los Angeles County area?

We match across Carson and the neighbouring communities in Los Angeles County. Put the ZIP of the property in and it will route to whoever actually covers it.

09

Why three quotes and not one?

Because one price tells you nothing. Three tells you where the middle is, and the outliers are informative in both directions — the very cheapest is usually leaving something out, and the most expensive should be able to say what you are getting for it.

10

Can I just put a new roof over the old one?

Codes in most places allow two layers. That does not make it wise. You lose the chance to see the deck, and the next roofer has twice as much to remove.

11

What happens to my information?

It goes to a maximum of three roofing contractors working in Carson, and to nobody else. We do not sell it as a mailing list and we do not post it anywhere public. Our privacy policy sets out exactly what is shared.

12

What does a new roof cost in Carson?

Most quotes here for a standard asphalt replacement come in around $12,000 to $27,500. 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.

13

Can I stay in the house while it is done?

Most people do. Expect noise from early morning, dust in the attic, and a day where the driveway belongs to the crew.

14

It is leaking right now. What do I do?

Contain the water, photograph everything, and get the request in marked as an emergency. A tarp is the right first job. The permanent repair is a separate conversation and a separate price.

15

Do I have to hire anyone?

Not at all. Plenty of people use this to find out what a job costs and then do nothing for a year. That is a perfectly reasonable outcome.

Get the roof looked at

No cost, no obligation, and never more than three contractors.
