Roof storm damage in Corona, CA
The first hour after a storm is about stopping water, not about getting the best price. Those are two separate jobs and they happen in that order.
Describe the storm damage job
Three questions, then the address. Up to three Corona contractors who do this work.

- One email when someone can help. When a provider covering your area can take it on, we email you once and ask whether you want that company, by name, to contact you.
- Deleted after 90 days. If nobody can take it on, or you do not say yes, your contact details are deleted 90 days after your request.
- You decide, or you do not. There is nothing to cancel and nothing to pay us.
Nobody will call you about this request unless you say yes to a company by name.
Before you let anybody on the roof
The things worth pinning down on a storm damage job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- A local address you could actually drive to
- Whether the contractor is licensed and insured in this state
- What the emergency tarp costs, separate from the repair
- Photographs of the damage before any work happens
- A written scope of the work, line by line
Photograph the outside, the inside, and the date. Then get a tarp on it. Photographs of the original damage are a record nobody can argue with; a description of what it looked like before the repair is not.
A local contractor who inspects and documents properly is more use to you than a fast one who is already on the roof.
If two contractors describe the damage differently, ask each to show you on the roof or in their photographs. It changes the conversation.
Locally
Then, less dramatically: ember intrusion through vents and open eaves. Class A assemblies and closed-off vents matter more here than the colour of the shingle.
About storm damage here
Should I repair or replace?
Rough rule: if the covering has more than about five years left and the damage is confined to one area, repair. If it is at the end of its life or you are patching the third leak in two years, you are paying instalments on a replacement.
Can I stay in the house while it is done?
Most people do. Expect noise from early morning, dust in the attic, and a day where the driveway belongs to the crew.
How quickly will someone call?
Usually within the hour during working hours. If you marked the job as an emergency it goes to the front of the queue and is normally picked up faster than that.
Are gutters included in a re-roof?
Usually not, unless the quote says so. If they are near the end of their life, replacing them during the re-roof is meaningfully cheaper than doing it later, because the crew and the staging are already there.
Find out what it costs
No cost. We email you once when a provider near you can take it on.
