How do I know if I need replacement vs. repair?

If your roof is under 15 years old with isolated damage, we recommend repair. If it's 20+ years old with widespread granule loss, multiple leak sources, or curling shingles, we recommend replacement. We give honest assessments — no upselling. As OC Platinum Preferred contractors since 1996, we recommend repair when it's the right call.

Can I stay home during the roof replacement?

Yes. We work entirely from the exterior. You can remain inside throughout the process. We recommend moving vehicles out of the driveway and covering attic items as a precaution. We protect your landscaping and clean up daily. License #749551, in business since 1996, OC Platinum Preferred.
