Roofing Repair is extremely important when it comes to keeping your home in good order. A damaged roof can lead to damages in your house not to mention a leaky roof can allow water to enter your home which can lead to mold and other problems. These concerns guided our decisions to hire a reputable and highly rated roofing repair contractor.
We bought a fixer-upper a few months ago and did a complete gut job from the inside out (stay tuned for upcoming posts for the improvements). We just completed the interior renovation a month ago and finally tackled the roof, which is over 30 yrs old with a lot of deterioration from water leakages to termite damages. Although we fixed the water spots and fumigated the entire house the decayed looking roof needed attention.
Replacing a completely new roof was not in our budget for this year’s renovation. However, after many different roofing repair specialists visited and inspected the roof a roof replacement was highly recommended. Another option is to patch the roof by overlaying shingles on top of the existing roof. This option may be cost-effective but the shingles won’t last as long as their natural lifetime. And we will eventually have to replace a new roof.
We decided to do a full replacement with a new roof instead. The roofers will be able to repair any high-risk areas, and new flashings can be installed, ensuring that our home is watertight for years to come. Our new roof will aesthetically look better which increases the curb appeal. It will also increase energy efficiency. But most importantly, it will give us peace of mind knowing that the things we value most are protected from the elements during heaving rains and high winds.
After thorough research with countless roof repair companies and estimates, we selected a certified roofing contractor, Roof Repair Specialist, to replace our roof. We chose them because they are reputable, properly insured and licensed, and highly qualified and highly rated. What sealed the deal with Roof Repair Specialists is their service and their commitment to customer satisfaction. Matt McCarthy has been very responsive and answered every question and concern we had before starting the project. He also went through line by line on the contract so that there were no surprises during the installation.
Once we had the start date a plan was laid out for the entire installation, including applying for the roof permit and working with the city for inspection. While removing the old roof more damages were uncovered that were not visible during the inspection. Julio, the supervisor, immediately communicated those issues to us and provided the estimated additional costs for the repair. They were able to fix the damaged areas and the project proceeded without any hiccups. The entire project took 5 days from beginning to end thanks to their hard-working, efficient crew – Raulito, Chicho, Lupe, Elmet, Eduardo, and Gabriel. Overall, the entire process was smooth, efficient, and seamless.
We really love our new roof and were pleasantly surprised that they even painted the flashings to match the color of the shingles. The new roof improved the aesthetic of our home, which can increase the value. If you’re in the Los Angeles area and have any problems with your roof and need a free estimate, I highly recommend Roof Repair Specialist. They take care of your roof like it’s their own whether it’s a small leak or need a full roof replacement.
