Pico Rivera, CA
Get your Pico Rivera roof looked at properly
Half the people who ask for a replacement need a repair, and a handful of the people who ask for a repair need a replacement. An hour on the roof sorts that out.
Or call (562) 586-7503Describe the inspection job
Three questions, then the address. Up to three Pico Rivera contractors who do this work.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Pico Rivera 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
- A written report, not a verbal summary
- Whether the inspection includes going into the attic
- Whether the fee comes off the job if you proceed
- 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.
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.
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.
Locally
Then, less dramatically: ember intrusion through vents and open eaves. Most houses lost to wildfire are lost to embers arriving ahead of the fire, not to the fire itself.
About inspection here
Are the contractors licensed and insured?
We require a licence number and current insurance from every contractor in the network. Verify it yourself anyway. Your state licensing board has a free lookup, and it takes two minutes.
Do I need a permit?
Yes, in nearly every jurisdiction a re-roof is permitted work. A contractor who suggests skipping it is telling you something useful about how they work.
Can I stay in the house while it is done?
Yes, though it is loud, and things will fall off shelves in the garage. Move cars out of the driveway and take anything fragile off the walls of the top floor.
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.

No cost, no obligation, and never more than three contractors.
