Corona, CA
The tile is fine. The roof might not be.
The most common tile job is not a replacement at all. It is a lift-and-relay: the same tile comes off, new underlayment goes down, the tile goes back.
Describe the tile and slate job
Three questions, then the address. Up to three Corona contractors who do this work.
You are on the list.
No provider in Corona is taking requests through this service yet. We are lining them up, and yours is kept until one can.
- Nobody gets your details yet. Your request stays with us and is not passed to any company.
- 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 tile and slate job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- Whether the tile can be salvaged and relaid
- Fastener specification, especially near salt air
- What percentage of tile breakage they expect and how it is priced
- Whether battens are being replaced at the same time
- The condition and age of the underlayment beneath
Matching discontinued tile is the real constraint. Salvaging what is there is usually cheaper and always closer.
Ask specifically how many tile or slate roofs the crew completed last year. The honest number is often small.
Underlayment life under tile is typically twenty to thirty years. The tile above it is rated for fifty or more. Plan for one relay in the life of the roof.
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 tile and slate here
Is this really free?
Yes. You pay nothing, now or later. Roofing contractors pay us for the introduction, which is why the service costs you nothing and why we are upfront that it is how we make money.
How long should a roof last here?
An architectural asphalt roof is rated for twenty-five to thirty years and, in this climate, tends to land at the lower end of that. Tile and metal go much further, provided what is underneath them is maintained.
How much deposit is normal?
A third at most, and never the full amount. Pay the balance when the job is finished and you have walked it. Some states cap the deposit by law.
Do you cover the whole Riverside County area?
Yes. The contractors we match on cover Corona and the surrounding towns, so if you are just outside the city limits it still works.
Find out what it costs
No cost. We email you once when a provider near you can take it on.
