Do roofing estimates in Perris, CA cost or are they free of charge?

Most Perris roofing companies provide free estimates on roof replacement and roof repairs.

How should I go about selecting a quality roofer in Perris?

• First, contact the roofing contractor or contractors that appear qualified for your project and request an estimate.
• Question the representative of the Perris roofing company at the time of the estimate. Ask for proof of license and insurance. Also, do they guarantee their workmanship? Is the estimate and the guarantee in writing? If you're getting a complete roof replacement, ask the contractor if they will provide a couple recent homeowner or business owner references from other Perris re-roofing projects.
• Make sure the roofer has expertise for your particular project. If you want a more specialized roofing material like metal, does the roofer have experience as a metal roofing contractor, or is their experience solely in shingles? If you need a commercial roofing material like an EPDM rubber roof, does the roofer have significant experience as a commercial roofing contractor?
• Call or email the roofer's references to determine how satisfied they were with the quality of the roof contractor's work.
• Select the Perris roofing contractor that you trust and offers you the best overall value. Value includes quality and price. Don't automatically choose the roofer with the lowest price. There are a lot of "fly-by-night" roofing contractors out there that may provide a low bid and then proceed to provide you poor service and a poorly done roof. Select the contractor that is trustworthy, offers professional credentials, and a fair price.

Do Perris roofers install a new roof over an existing roof?

Some roofers will install over an existing roof, but the best method for re-roofing is complete tear-off and removal of the old roof. Removing the old roof allows for inspection of the roof deck, which is important to help determine if there are any existing roofing materials that are in poor condition.

What happens to the roof shingles and other debris from the old roof?

Typically, a roll off dumpster will be placed on the property during the re-roofing project. Good roofing contractors will leave the property cleaned up at the conclusion to each work day. Shingles and other debris from the old roof are thrown into the dumpster. In many areas, shingles and other roofing materials are now recycled to be used again on other roofs. If roof shingle recycling is not available in your area, then the debris from the roof will be disposed of properly in a landfill.

What warranties are provided by roofing contractors in Perris?

Warranties on shingles and other roofing materials are actually provided by the manufacturer of the shingles, tile roofing, or metal roofing material. Manufacturers usually offer different warranties depending on the grade of material you select. Less expensive shingles, tile, or metal roofing, usually carry a shorter warranty, as you might expect. The duration of these warranties may be anywhere from 5 years up to a "lifetime".

An additional warranty may be offered directly from the Perris roof contractor. A "Workmanship Warranty" or "Workmanship Guarantee" is a warranty from a Perris roofing contractor that essentially guarantees that the roof installation was done properly. Depending on the language in the warranty, any roof leaks or other problems related to improper installation may be covered by the roofing company. These warranties, if offered, are typically anywhere from one to ten years.
