As a Santa Fe Springs roofing contractor, we provide ethical and honest roofing services ranking from roof replacement to repairs.
“You need a new roof.” These are nightmarish words to the ears of any homeowner. They signify a cost and a lot of inconvenience considering the construction that is going to happen. There are some silver lining to this event, however.
The first thing to come to grips with is the fact a roof replacement is going to happen at some point. Homes are designed to stand a very long time, but your average roof has a lifespan of 20 to 40 years depending on the type. A few roofs such as slate will last much longer, but they are very rare.
The first silver lining is your homeowner’s insurance might cover the repair. Some policies cover it regardless of the reason it is needed. Others only cover it if the failure is due to some specific cause. Before you start looking at your bank account balance, take a look at your homeowner’s insurance policy.
The second silver lining is a new roof will raise the value of your home. When it comes time to sell it, a roof that is relatively new gives you leverage over comparable homes in the area. As you probably know, every little bit in real estate counts.
Finally, the inconvenience of a roof replacement because of the work being done can actually be relatively small. Obviously, it depends on your roof. Some jobs can take as little as a day or two.
Watch out for bait and switch roofers. Most roofers are ethical, but there are a few bad apples out there. They’ll quote you a really low price and then suddenly “find” new problems that end up costing you more. We offer you quality work that we guarantee in writing for a reasonable price. We may not always be the absolute cheapest, but our work will last and we won’t bait and switch you.
