Frequently Asked Questions
How long does replacing a roof typically take?
About a week for the average home (2500 sq. ft) - that timeline involves removing your old roofing material (shingles, etc.) and any rotten or damaged wood, replacing that wood, installing sheeting, laying new roof material, and any necessary inspections. This timeline can be affected by weather, unexpected damage, or other unforeseen circumstances. We will keep you involved with the timeline and do our best to complete the job as quickly as we can while keeping the quality we're known for.

Do we have to be out of the house when you are replacing the roof?
You don't have to leave! Keep in mind, replacing a roof is noisy - if you're needing quiet, you might need to step out for a moment.
Why is there discoloring in my roof?
Discoloration can have many causes, but it typically indicates it's time for a replacement. Give us a call and we'll come check it out!
What kind of ventilation can I use on my roof?
We use O'Hagin dormers (low-profile vents) instead of old fashioned turbines. When replacing or installing a roof, it's important to know how many dormers are needed to ensure proper ventilation. Typically, 4-5 dormers are required on a 2500 sq. ft. home and 1-2 dormers on a one car garage.
Will you work with my insurance company to help me move forward with my roofing job?
Yes! We can work with your insurance provider to keep your out-of-pocket costs as low as possible.
What is the difference between a standard roof inspection and a real estate roof inspection in Los Angeles?
A standard roof inspection assesses the overall condition of your roof and identifies damage or maintenance needs, while a real estate roof inspection produces an official certification used for home sales, escrow, or insurance purposes. Knowing which type you need upfront ensures you get the right documentation — a general condition report versus a formal certification a buyer, lender, or insurer will accept.What does your roof inspection report include — will I receive photos or video documentation of the findings?
Your inspection report includes written findings along with high-resolution photos documenting the condition of your roof, so you have a clear, visual record of every issue identified. This comprehensive documentation gives you — and any real estate agent, buyer, or insurance adjuster involved — concrete evidence to support next steps, whether that's a repair, a claim, or a sale.Who does the best roof inspections in Los Angeles, and what should I look for when choosing an inspector?
The best roof inspections in Los Angeles come from contractors who provide thorough on-site evaluations, detailed written reports, and photo or video documentation of every finding. You should also confirm upfront whether you need a general condition inspection or an official real estate certification, since the right type of inspection — and the right documentation — depends entirely on your situation.
