Roof inspection in Paramount
An inspection is the cheapest thing on this site and the one that saves the most money, because it turns a guess into a number.
Or call (562) 316-3010Describe the inspection job
Three questions, then the address. Up to three Paramount contractors who do this work.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Paramount 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 inspection job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- A written report, not a verbal summary
- An estimated number of years left in the covering
- Whether the inspection includes going into the attic
- Photographs of anything they flag
- Whether the fee comes off the job if you proceed
Either way, ask for photographs. A report with pictures of your actual roof is worth ten times one with a tick-box condition rating.
A thorough look covers the covering, the flashings, the penetrations, the gutters, the ventilation and the attic side of the deck. If nobody went into the attic, half the inspection did not happen.
The point of an inspection is not to find a disaster. It is to find the two hundred dollar problem before it becomes a twelve thousand dollar one.
Locally
Behind it: the marine layer keeping the north slope damp. Slopes that never get direct sun stay wet for hours after the fog burns off, and that is where moss, lifted shingles and soft decking start.
About inspection here
What does a new roof cost in Paramount?
Most quotes here for a standard asphalt replacement come in around $12,000 to $29,000. That assumes one layer to remove and sound decking. Every quote you get should say in writing what happens if the decking is not sound.
How long does a re-roof take?
Two days is typical for asphalt. Add days for steep pitch, multiple layers to strip, tile work, or a roof with a lot of valleys and penetrations.
How much deposit is normal?
Ten to thirty per cent is ordinary, and is often used to order material. A demand for full payment up front is a reason to walk away.
Are you a roofing company?
No. Bluepeak Roof Systems 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.
What is it going to cost?
No cost, no obligation, and never more than three contractors.
