Roof replacement and repair · Los Angeles County
We price the rot before your old roof comes off.
Free quote visit. The written quote lists a price for anything we might find under the old roof, so the number on it is the number on your bill.

The quote and the bill
Four things hide under an old roof. Your quote prices all four.
Most roofing prices change on one day: the day the old roof comes off and something turns up underneath. We price that day before it happens.

The whole-job price, plus anything we find, at the prices above.
Final bill

The whole-job price, plus only what you said yes to.
Found items go on the bill only after a photo and your yes in writing.
When the old roof comes off
Nothing is added to your job until you have seen it.
1We find it.
With the old roof off, the crew lead walks the whole deck. Most often we find soft plywood along a valley, and now and then a rotted rafter tail or a second roof left underneath.
2We photograph it and count it.
The crew lead photographs each spot and counts it in sheets, feet or squares. The photos come to your phone with your quoted price beside each line.
3You say yes in writing.
Say yes, and the work goes on at the price already on your quote. Say no, and we dry the roof in that day. You pay only for the work done up to that point, at the prices on your quote.
The quote visit is free.
Roofs and jobs
Every roof and every job, quoted the same way.
Replacement is most of what we do. Every other job gets the same written quote and the same priced list.
By job
Roof replacement
The old roof comes off down to the plywood, then new underlayment, new roof, flashing and vents. We pull the permit.
Roof repair
We fix flashing, valleys, slipped tiles and soft spots, and quote each repair in writing.
Leak repair
We come out the day you call and keep the water out. The permanent repair gets a written quote like any other job. Call (310) 857-2520
Roof inspection
We give the roof and the attic about 45 minutes. The photos and the written report are yours.
By roof type
Tile roofs: lift and relay
The felt under LA tile wears out first. We lift the tiles, lay new underlayment and put the same tiles back.
Priced if found: cracked tiles to match.
Composition shingle
Valley ranches, 1990s tracts and Craftsman houses that once had wood shake. Every old layer comes off, and we measure the pitch at the visit.
Priced if found: a second layer on the deck.
Flat and low-slope
Cap sheet, torch-down and coatings on mid-century houses, additions and garage conversions.
Priced if found: wet insulation under the old roof.
Commercial and apartments
Shop rows, small offices and apartment buildings. The old built-up roof comes off down to the deck, as it does on a house.
Priced if found: extra layers, from a core cut.After the job
Your warranty is two ticked lines on the final bill.
For 10 years from the date on that bill, any repair that traces back to how we installed your roof is billed at $0.
The second line covers the material, and the maker sets its term.
Questions
What people ask before they hire a roofer.
- What happens if you find rot under the old roof?
- We stop and send you photos before we replace anything, and the price is already on your quote. How that works.
- How long is the quote good for?
- 30 days from the date on it. After that we write you a fresh one, because material prices move.
- Do I need a permit, and who pays for it?
- A replacement usually does. We pull it. You pay the city’s fee to the city, never inside our number.
- Is financing available?
- Yes, on roof replacements. We go through the monthly options at the quote visit, on the number from your quote.
- How long does a new roof take?
- Two to four days on most single-story shingle roofs. Tile relays and two-story houses take longer, and the roof is never left open overnight.
- What do I get from the free visit if I don't hire you?
- The photos and the written quote, yours to keep. Put it beside the others and look for a price on the decking.
