Roof storm damage in Compton, CA
Most storm claims are lost on documentation, not on damage. Photograph everything before anybody touches the roof.
Or call (424) 538-1808Describe the storm damage job
Three questions, then the address. Up to three Compton contractors who do this work.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Compton 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 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 you can put in front of an adjuster
A local contractor who inspects and documents properly is more use to your claim than a fast one who is already on the roof.
If the adjuster and the contractor disagree, ask for the contractor to be present at the re-inspection. It changes the conversation.
Photograph the outside, the inside, and the date. Then get a tarp on it. An adjuster can work with photographs of the original damage; they cannot work with your description of what it looked like before the repair.
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.
