Roof storm damage in Compton, CA
Photograph everything before anybody touches the roof. A record made on the day is worth more than any description afterwards.
Describe the storm damage job
Three questions, then the address. Up to three Compton contractors who do this work.
You are on the list.
No provider in Compton is taking requests through this service yet. We are lining them up, and yours is kept until one can.
- Nobody gets your details yet. Your request stays with us and is not passed to any company.
- One email when someone can help. When a provider covering your area can take it on, we email you once and ask whether you want that company, by name, to contact you.
- Deleted after 90 days. If nobody can take it on, or you do not say yes, your contact details are deleted 90 days after your request.
- You decide, or you do not. There is nothing to cancel and nothing to pay us.
Nobody will call you about this request unless you say yes to a company by name.
Before you let anybody on the roof
The things worth pinning down on a storm damage job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- What the emergency tarp costs, separate from the repair
- A local address you could actually drive to
- Photographs of the damage before any work happens
- Whether the contractor is licensed and insured in this state
- A written scope of the work, line by line
A local contractor who inspects and documents properly is more use to you than a fast one who is already on the roof.
If two contractors describe the damage differently, ask each to show you on the roof or in their photographs. It changes the conversation.
Photograph the outside, the inside, and the date. Then get a tarp on it. Photographs of the original damage are a record nobody can argue with; a description of what it looked like before the repair is not.
Locally
Behind it: the marine layer keeping the north slope damp. It is why two identical houses on the same street can be ten years apart on the same roof, depending on which way they face.
About storm damage here
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.
Do you cover the whole Los Angeles County area?
We match across Compton and the neighbouring communities in Los Angeles County. Put the ZIP of the property in and it will route to whoever actually covers it.
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.
What time of year is best to re-roof in Compton?
Here, the long dry run from May to October is the easy window. November through March is when the phone rings hardest, which means less flexibility on dates and less room on price.
Find out what it costs
No cost. We email you once when a provider near you can take it on.
