La Verne, CA
Fix the leak before it costs you a ceiling
Most roofs that leak do not need replacing. They need somebody to find the eighteen inches that failed and put it right.
Or call (909) 415-2461Describe the repair job
Three questions, then the address. Up to three La Verne contractors who do this work.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in La Verne 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.
- What the repair does to any remaining manufacturer warranty
- Whether the surrounding material has enough life left to be worth tying into
- Where the water is actually getting in, not just where it is showing up
- What it would cost to replace instead, so you can compare like for like
- Whether matching material is still available in your colour
Expect the contractor to want to look before quoting. Anybody willing to price a leak repair over the phone is guessing, and the guess will be high.
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.
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.
Locally
Close behind that: wind-blown embers landing in the valleys. Most houses lost to wildfire are lost to embers arriving ahead of the fire, not to the fire itself.
About repair here
Should I take the cheapest quote?
Only if it is the same roof. Most large gaps between quotes are scope gaps. Ask the cheapest contractor which of the other quotes items they have left out, and why.
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.
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.
Do I have to hire anyone?
No. Take the quotes, sit on them, use them to argue with your insurer, or throw them away. There is nothing to cancel and nothing owed.

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