Note
What actually happens during a re-roof
Day by day, so nothing on your driveway comes as a surprise.
Or call (626) 990-2822Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in South El Monte 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 the first day
Permit pulled, material delivered — usually to the driveway, sometimes onto the roof. Move cars, clear the drive, and take pictures off the walls upstairs.
Day one: tear-off
The loudest day. The old covering comes off, the deck is inspected, and any rotten sheathing is replaced at the rate agreed in the contract. This is the day the price can move, which is why that rate matters.
Day two: dry-in and covering
Underlayment, ice-and-water where required, drip edge, then the covering goes on from the eaves up. Flashings and penetrations are detailed as the crew reaches them.
Finishing
Ridge, ventilation, final flashing, then clean-up and a magnet run for nails. Walk it with the contractor before the final payment, and keep the paperwork.
