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.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Corona and the surrounding area.
- Today, usually within the hour. The first contractor calls or texts the number you gave us. ASAP requests go out first.
- Up to three of them, no more. We cap it at three so you can compare without your phone melting.
- They come and look. Estimates are given after somebody has been on the roof, not over the phone.
- You decide, or you do not. There is nothing to cancel and nothing to pay us.
If you do not hear anything today, check your voicemail and spam folder — contractors often call from a mobile number.
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.
