Avalon, CA
Get your Avalon 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 (424) 855-8007Describe the inspection job
Three questions, then the address. Up to three Avalon contractors who do this work.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Avalon 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.
- An estimated number of years left in the covering
- Photographs of anything they flag
- Whether the inspection includes going into the attic
- A written report, not a verbal summary
- Whether the fee comes off the job if you proceed
Ask for an estimated remaining life in years, and what would extend it. That answer is the useful part.
Free inspections are tied to an estimate, which is fine as long as you know that going in. Paid inspections buy you a written report that is not attached to somebody wanting the work.
Twice a year is the standard advice, and almost nobody does it. Once after the worst weather of the year is a reasonable compromise.
Locally
Behind it: morning fog that sits on the roof until mid-morning. Nothing dramatic happens. A slope stays damp most mornings for thirty years, and eventually that is enough.
About inspection here
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.
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.
Do I have to hire anyone?
No. Take the quotes, sit on them, use them to argue with your insurer, or throw them away. There is nothing to cancel and nothing owed.
What if the decking is rotten underneath?
Expect a few sheets on most older roofs. Get the per-sheet rate in the contract. Open-ended decking charges are where a fixed price stops being fixed.
What is it going to cost?
Three questions, about a minute, and up to three Avalon contractors come back to you.
