Cost, timing and what to ask

The eight questions that actually decide roof leak repair, answered with published numbers.

Questions

What homeowners here ask

How much will my leak repair cost?

Leak repairs are usually an estimated $350 to $1,500, and small ones caught early start around $200. A full replacement, when a roof is genuinely finished, is estimated at $10,000 to $25,000. The range is wide because pitch, access, covering and what the old roof was hiding all move it, which is why the inspection is free and the quote is written down.

Do I actually need a new roof, or is that an upsell?

Often you do not. A failed flashing, a slipped course or a split upstand is a repair costing hundreds, and each is routinely presented as proof the whole roof is finished. The test is whether the covering away from the failure still has life in it. We will show you, on the roof or in the photographs, and quote the repair when the repair is right.

Why is Los Angeles more expensive than the figures I found online?

Because most online figures are national. Asphalt shingle is about $8.50 per square foot here against roughly $4 nationally. A quote that matches a national average is usually missing something -- most often the tear-off or the sheathing allowance.

Someone knocked on my door and said my roof is failing. Is it?

Maybe, but get a second opinion before you sign anything, and never accept a price given at the door. Ask for a CSLB C-39 number and check it on the public register. That takes a minute and it is the single most effective thing you can do.

How long does the work take?

A typical single-story valley house is a two to four day job once it starts: tear-off and dry-in on day one, covering after. Tile takes longer than composition. Weather moves it, and we will not dry-in a roof we cannot finish.

What do you charge for an emergency or out-of-hours call?

Emergency and after-hours work across Los Angeles runs 20 to 30% above standard rates. We tell you the number before we set off, not afterwards. Making it watertight tonight and repairing it properly are quoted as two separate items.

Do you charge for the inspection or the quote?

No. The inspection is free, the written quote is free, and there is no obligation attached to either. What we will not do is give you a price at the door without going up.

Do I need a permit, and who pulls it?

Re-roofing is permitted work, and in this city the permit comes from the City of Baldwin Park -- not LADBS, because Baldwin Park is its own incorporated city. We pull it. The inspection that comes with it is your independent check that the specification was actually followed.
