What are the Indicators That You May Need a New Roof?
When it hasn’t rained recently in Toluca Lake or anywhere in SoCal, for that matter, how do you know that you need a new roof before it rains again? Begin by inspecting the interior of your home for peeling paint or bubbling plaster on ceilings or walls. Also, if it does rain in Toluca Lake, check for new stains on your ceiling after the rain, as this is a sure sign that you have a leak. Inspect your gutters for shingle debris and on your lawn. Climb up to the roof and look over your roofing material. Check for shingles …

Why Hire a Licensed and Insured Pasadena Roofing Company?
Are you faced with the need to re-roof? Many Pasadena homeowners are finding the costs to re-roof their home to be quite a bit more than they hoped it would be. So, when looking for a way to cut costs, they may find it’s cheaper to skip hiring a licensed and insured roofer. Often Pasadena roofing material is made from petroleum. That seems to increase in price with every passing year. Labor cost is driven by an ever-shrinking work force (there are few technical colleges, if any, that teach roofing). Because of this, many homeowners who are staggered by the …

Ask These Questions to Choose Your Roofer
You have checked around and found a few roofers who are coming over to look at your roof. What do you ask to know which is the best roofer to hire? Will a written estimate be sent to me? If the estimator offers you the estimate immediately after his inspection and attempts to close you, right then and there, we suggest you look for a different company. This estimate will likely be too high or missing essential details. If the plywood is rotten or the decking is soft, what will you charge me for the replacement of the plywood? The …

How Can I Tell If My Flat Roof Is No Good?
The first step is to identify what sort of flat roof you have. The most common flat roof is smooth and white with a mineral grit surface, known as either torchdown (applied with flaming torch) or hot tar. This flat roof is also known as a gravel roof, also applied with hot tar but increasing in popularity are rubber or plastic roofs, known as single-ply, commonly called TPO (in the past, called EPDM). If you have a mineral grit roof, and the grit hasn’t come off, then it’s in reasonably good shape and probably not in dire need if replacement …

Questions to Ask Your Roofer Before Making an Appointment
How do you choose your roofer? Most likely you have already called a roofer. You know the rains are coming and let’s be honest, in SoCal we don’t really consider roofing a high priority – until El Nino is forecast. So before you choose your roofer, what questions should you ask? How long have you been in business? It’s always best to choose a company that has been around a while. This is something you can use to compare one company to another when making a final decision on which company to use. Are you a licensed roofing company? You …
