Step 1 of 6

What best describes your home?

Different buildings need different crews, so this is the first thing a roofer asks.

No fee, no obligation, nothing to cancel.

01

Are you a roofing company?

No. Compton Roofing Group is a free matching service. We do not hold a roofing licence, we do not employ crews, and we never come to your house. We pass your request to independent local contractors who do the work and who you hire directly.

02

Why three quotes and not one?

Because one price tells you nothing. Three tells you where the middle is, and the outliers are informative in both directions — the very cheapest is usually leaving something out, and the most expensive should be able to say what you are getting for it.

03

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.

04

What should I do to prepare?

Move the cars out, take pictures off the top-floor walls, cover anything stored in the attic, and put pets somewhere else for the loud days. Expect nails in the driveway however careful the crew is — ask whether they run a magnet at the end.

05

Why does ventilation keep coming up?

It is the most under-sold part of a roof. Trapped heat and moisture shorten shingle life, warp decking, and in cold weather it is what turns snow into an ice dam.

06

What if the decking is rotten underneath?

Some of it usually is. The important thing is that the price per sheet is agreed in writing before the tear-off, so the conversation on day two is about quantity rather than rate.

07

How much deposit is normal?

A third at most, and never the full amount. Pay the balance when the job is finished and you have walked it. Some states cap the deposit by law.

08

It is leaking right now. What do I do?

Move what you can out of the way, put a bucket under it, and if there is a bulge in the ceiling put a small hole at its lowest point to let the water out in one place rather than bringing the whole panel down. Then mark your request as an emergency — those go out first.

09

How long should a roof last here?

An architectural asphalt roof is rated for twenty-five to thirty years and, in this climate, tends to land at the lower end of that. Tile and metal go much further, provided what is underneath them is maintained.

10

How long does a re-roof take?

A straightforward asphalt roof on an average house is one to three days. Tile, slate and complex rooflines take longer, and weather stops work more often than anything else.

11

Do I have to hire anyone?

Not at all. Plenty of people use this to find out what a job costs and then do nothing for a year. That is a perfectly reasonable outcome.

12

Do you cover the whole Los Angeles County area?

Yes. The contractors we match on cover Compton and the surrounding towns, so if you are just outside the city limits it still works.
