How the business runs

One city, and the two things that leak in it

We work on houses in Fullerton and the neighborhoods around it, plus Brea immediately north. That is a deliberate limit. North Orange County tract housing is a known quantity: concrete tile that outlives its underlayment, and 1960s-80s curb-mounted skylights decades past the life of their sealant. Between them those account for most of what we are called to.

Every survey covers the attic as well as the roof, because on a low-pitch roof the water enters at a junction and travels before it drops. Every job is photographed slope by slope. Every price is against a written scope, with sheathing priced per sheet.

No doorstep quotes, and no price without a survey
No overlay sold as a replacement, and no coating over a wet deck
We quote the repair first when the repair is the right job
If a scope cannot be photographed, it is not invoiced

How it runs

Four steps, no surprises

Free inspection including every skylight curb, then a written quote.

Call or message

Tell us where the water is showing inside. On a skylight leak that alone often identifies which face of the curb failed, before anyone climbs a ladder.

Free inspection, roof and attic

Both, together. Water enters at a junction and travels before it drops, so a survey from the roof alone is how the same leak gets fixed twice.

Re-flash or replace, priced side by side

On a forty-year-old skylight curb those are genuinely different jobs at genuinely different prices, and you should see both rather than one.

Written scope, written quote, then the work

The failed detail named. Sheathing priced per sheet. The area left clean and the before-and-after set handed over.

Before you choose

Five things worth checking on every quote you get

Including ours. There are enough door-knockers working this county that the checks are worth making on anybody.

Ask for the license number

Roofing in California is C-39 work. The number is public, the CSLB register answers in under a minute, and the check is worth making on anybody who knocks -- including us.

Does the scope name the detail that failed

'Repair roof' is not a scope. 'Re-bed the skylight curb, re-flash the head, replace the vent boot' is. The second can be checked when it is finished; the first cannot, which is the point.

Has anyone actually been in the attic

On a leak, the entry point and the stain are rarely in the same place. A diagnosis made from the roof alone is half a diagnosis, and it is why the same leak gets 'fixed' twice.

Are the two quotes specifying the same roof

A fire-rated assembly, a tear-off versus an overlay, and a sheathing allowance each move the price by thousands. A cheaper quote is sometimes a lesser roof rather than a better price.

Did the price come before the ladder

A number produced in the driveway is a guess with a decimal point on it. Nobody can price a skylight curb, a valley or a wall flashing without getting to it, or judge the ceiling below without looking at it. We do not price at the curb and we do not price from a photograph you send us.
