Jurupa Valley, CA
A new roof in Jurupa Valley, priced honestly
A re-roof is the second-largest cheque most homeowners write on their house, and the one they have the least information about.
Describe the replacement job
Three questions, then the address. Up to three Jurupa Valley contractors who do this work.

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.
- How the site is protected, and who cleans up the nails
- Tear-off or overlay, and what the local code allows
- Who pulls the permit, and what the inspection schedule looks like
- Ventilation: what is there now, what it should be
- A written per-sheet price for replacing bad decking
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.
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.
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
Then, less dramatically: dry offshore wind that arrives all at once in autumn. Dry offshore wind lifts material that damp coastal air had been holding down. Most wind losses here happen on a handful of nights a year.
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.
Do you handle commercial buildings?
Yes. Commercial requests go to contractors who do low-slope and flat systems rather than to residential crews. Say so on the property question and it routes correctly.
What warranty should I expect?
Ask for both in writing: the material warranty from the manufacturer and the workmanship warranty from the contractor. The second one is the one that matters in year three, and it is only as good as the company behind it.
Are you a roofing company?
No, and it matters that we say so. We are a referral service, not a contractor. The roofing work, the licence, the insurance and the warranty all sit with the independent company you choose.

Free, no obligation, and your details go to no company until you say yes.
