Or call (949) 868-1671Describe the inspection job
Three questions, then the address. Up to three San Juan Capistrano contractors who do this work.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in San Juan Capistrano 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.
- A written report, not a verbal summary
- Whether the inspection includes going into the attic
- Photographs of anything they flag
- An estimated number of years left in the covering
- Whether the fee comes off the job if you proceed
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.
Twice a year is the standard advice, and almost nobody does it. Once after the worst weather of the year is a reasonable compromise.
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
Behind it: the autumn offshore winds, which find anything already loose. These winds are not constant, which is the problem. A roof gets nine quiet months and then one night at fifty miles an hour, and whatever was marginal goes.
About inspection here
Are gutters included in a re-roof?
Normally a separate line. It is the one add-on that genuinely costs less when done at the same time.
How quickly will someone call?
Usually within the hour during working hours. If you marked the job as an emergency it goes to the front of the queue and is normally picked up faster than that.
Do you cover the whole Orange County area?
Yes. The contractors we match on cover San Juan Capistrano and the surrounding towns, so if you are just outside the city limits it still works.
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.
