FAQs
Why should I schedule a free roof inspection in Monterey?
Monterey’s coastal climate exposes roofs to salt-laden air, strong winds, and occasional heavy rains. A complimentary inspection allows our certified technicians to spot early signs of corrosion, shingle lift, and water intrusion before they become expensive repairs. Because the service is free, homeowners get a professional assessment and a written report without any obligation, giving you the information you need to plan maintenance or replacement on your own timetable.
What can I expect during the inspection and how long will it take?
A typical inspection lasts 45–60 minutes for an average-sized single-family home. Our team will: 1. Inspect the attic for moisture stains, mold, and proper ventilation. 2. Examine the roof surface for missing or damaged shingles, flashing failures, and soft spots in decking. 3. Check gutters, downspouts, and penetrations (vents, skylights, chimneys). 4. Photograph any issues and document them in an easy-to-read digital report delivered the same day. We finish by reviewing our findings with you on site or via video call, answering questions and outlining next steps if repair or replacement is recommended.
How do I know if I need a repair or a full roof replacement?
Our inspectors use a 20-point checklist that scores the roof on age, material condition, leak history, and structural integrity. Generally, if more than 25–30 % of shingles are deteriorated, the decking is water-damaged, or the roof is over 20 years old, a full replacement is more cost-effective than repeated spot repairs. We will show you photos, core-sample results (when needed), and projected life-cycle costs so you can make an informed decision.
How much does a roof replacement cost in Monterey?
Costs vary with roof size, pitch, material, and disposal fees. In Monterey, asphalt shingle replacements typically range from $9,000 to $18,000 for a 2,000 sq ft roof. Premium options like metal or composite shake can run $18,000–$35,000. After the free inspection we provide a line-item estimate that includes tear-off, permits, materials, labor, and a projected timeline—no hidden fees.
How long will the roof replacement take and what about Monterey’s weather?
Most homes are completed in 2–4 days. We monitor local weather forecasts closely; if coastal fog or rain is predicted, we install waterproof underlayment and schedule work phases to keep your home dry. Should unexpected weather arise, the crew secures the site with tarps and pauses work until conditions are safe, ensuring quality and protection throughout the project.
Do you handle permits, warranties, and cleanup?
Yes. We obtain all required Monterey County permits and schedule inspections with the building department. Your new roof comes with a manufacturer’s material warranty (20–50 years depending on product) and our 10-year workmanship guarantee. After installation, our team magnet-sweeps for nails, hauls away debris, and conducts a final walk-through so you can inspect the finished roof before signing off.
