Temecula, CA
Get your Temecula roof looked at properly
Buying a house, selling one, or planning the next ten years — all three go better with a written roof report in hand.
Describe the inspection job
Three questions, then the address. Up to three Temecula contractors who do this work.
You are on the list.
No provider in Temecula is taking requests through this service yet. We are lining them up, and yours is kept until one can.
- Nobody gets your details yet. Your request stays with us and is not passed to any company.
- One email when someone can help. When a provider covering your area can take it on, we email you once and ask whether you want that company, by name, to contact you.
- Deleted after 90 days. If nobody can take it on, or you do not say yes, your contact details are deleted 90 days after your request.
- You decide, or you do not. There is nothing to cancel and nothing to pay us.
Nobody will call you about this request unless you say yes to a company by name.
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.
- Whether the fee comes off the job if you proceed
- 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
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.
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.
Ask for an estimated remaining life in years, and what would extend it. That answer is the useful part.
Locally
Close behind that: wind-blown embers landing in the valleys. Class A assemblies and closed-off vents matter more here than the colour of the shingle.

What warranty should I expect?
Ask for both in writing: the material warranty from the manufacturer and the workmanship warranty from the contractor. The second one is the one that matters in year three, and it is only as good as the company behind it.
What does a new roof cost in Temecula?
Most quotes here for a standard asphalt replacement come in around $13,500 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.
Is this really free?
It is free to you. Contractors pay to receive homeowner requests in their area. That is the entire business model, and we would rather say so plainly than pretend otherwise.
What if the decking is rotten underneath?
Some of it usually is. The important thing is that the price per sheet is agreed in writing before the tear-off, so the conversation on day two is about quantity rather than rate.
