Buying a house, selling one, or arguing with an insurer — all three go better with a written roof report in hand.
Or call (949) 667-6205Describe the inspection job
Three questions, then the address. Up to three Aliso Viejo contractors who do this work.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Aliso Viejo 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.
- Photographs of anything they flag
- An estimated number of years left in the covering
- Whether the inspection includes going into the attic
- Whether the fee comes off the job if you proceed
- A written report, not a verbal summary
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.
Either way, ask for photographs. A report with pictures of your actual roof is worth ten times one with a tick-box condition rating.
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.
Locally
Then, less dramatically: shaded slopes that never really dry out. Slopes that never get direct sun stay wet for hours after the fog burns off, and that is where moss, lifted shingles and soft decking start.
About inspection 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 quickly will someone call?
Most requests are picked up the same day, often within an hour. Emergencies are prioritised. If you have not heard anything by the next morning, check voicemail — contractors usually call from a mobile.
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.
Are the contractors licensed and insured?
Contractors have to give us their state licence number and proof of liability and workers compensation cover before they can receive requests. You should still ask to see current certificates yourself before work starts — a licence can lapse between checks.
