Roofing notes
Brief notes on roofing, written for people who are not in the trade.
What is going on with the roof?
No cost to you. Contractors pay us, you do not.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Placentia 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.
