Newport Beach, CA
Roof repair in Newport Beach
Most roofs that leak do not need replacing. They need somebody to find the eighteen inches that failed and put it right.
Or call (949) 691-0130Describe the repair job
Three questions, then the address. Up to three Newport Beach contractors who do this work.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Newport Beach 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 repair job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- Where the water is actually getting in, not just where it is showing up
- What the repair does to any remaining manufacturer warranty
- Whether matching material is still available in your colour
- Whether the surrounding material has enough life left to be worth tying into
- What it would cost to replace instead, so you can compare like for like
A good repair visit starts in the attic, not on the roof. Daylight through the deck, wet insulation, and rust tracks down a nail shank all say more than a walk on the shingles.
Leaks rarely start where the stain is. Water travels along the underside of the deck and down a rafter before it drops, which is why a repair that goes straight to the discoloured patch usually fails twice.
Repairs on a roof with five years left are money well spent. Repairs on a roof with two are usually a deposit on the replacement you are about to buy anyway.
Locally
Then, less dramatically: shaded slopes that never really dry out. Damp that arrives every morning and leaves by lunchtime is worse for a roof than rain, because nothing ever fully dries between one and the next.
About repair here
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.
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.
I have solar panels. What happens to them?
They come off and go back on, and that is a separate cost, often handled by the solar installer rather than the roofer. If the roof is near the end of its life, do the roof first — removing and refitting panels twice is money wasted.
What warranty should I expect?
Two separate things. The manufacturer covers the material for its rated life, but only if it was installed to their specification. The contractor covers workmanship, commonly five to ten years, and only for as long as they are trading.
