Temecula, CA
A new roof in Temecula, priced honestly
Replacing a roof is four days of noise and one decision that lasts thirty years. It is worth an afternoon of comparing.
Describe the replacement 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 replacement job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- Who pulls the permit, and what the inspection schedule looks like
- How the site is protected, and who cleans up the nails
- Which underlayment, and whether ice-and-water goes on the eaves and valleys
- A written per-sheet price for replacing bad decking
- Tear-off or overlay, and what the local code allows
The covering is the part you can see and the part everybody quotes on. The parts that decide whether the roof lasts are underlayment, ventilation, drip edge and how the valleys are handled.
Ask how long the crew has been together. Roofing is a trade where the same company name can mean an entirely different set of hands from one season to the next.
Insist on knowing what happens to decking that turns out to be rotten. The good answer is a per-sheet price agreed in writing before the job starts.
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.
About replacement here
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.
How long does a re-roof take?
A straightforward asphalt roof on an average house is one to three days. Tile, slate and complex rooflines take longer, and weather stops work more often than anything else.
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 long should a roof last here?
Rated life and real life are different numbers. Here, ordinary rated life is a fair guide, provided the attic breathes. Ventilation and the quality of the installation move that more than the brand does.
