- 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.

If you do not hear anything today, check your voicemail and spam folder — contractors often call from a mobile number.
What you are actually getting
What a good job looks like
Four things worth holding every quote to
Three estimates will differ, and rarely for the reason printed at the bottom. These are the four places the difference usually is.
The attic, while it is open
A re-roof is the one chance to fix attic ventilation, and it changes what the house costs to cool. Ask each quote what it does about intake and exhaust.
Installation you can check
Nail pattern, underlayment, flashing at the penetrations: three things that decide the life of the roof and none of them show from the street.
A scope you can compare
A single number with no breakdown is not an estimate, it is a guess you cannot check. Ask for the lines.
The two documents that matter
A licence number on a business card is not a licence. Thirty seconds on the state board is what confirms it.

What happens after you tap send
You will not speak to us at any point. You fill this in, and roofing companies get in touch directly.
Tell us about the roof
Three taps. The questions exist so contractors know whether to send a repair tech or a re-roof estimator.
Matched to nearby contractors
Independent local companies, chosen on where they work and what they specialise in. Emergencies go out first.
Real numbers, then your call
Contractors contact you directly and quote after seeing the roof. There is no fee and nothing to cancel.

Quick, then quiet. A minute to send, and the calls start today rather than next week.
Up to three contractors — a hard cap, not a guideline.
Nothing is booked. You are agreeing to be quoted, not to have work done.
Free, and no obligation. Roofers pay for the introduction; you never do.

| Covering | Per square | Typical whole roof | Expected life |
|---|---|---|---|
| Architectural asphalt shingleThe default choice on most American homes, and usually the right one. | $650 – $925 | $13,000 – $27,000 | 25 to 30 years |
| 3-tab asphalt shingleThe cheapest thing that still counts as a roof. Fewer and fewer crews will install it. | $525 – $725 | $10,500 – $21,000 | 15 to 20 years |
| Impact-rated asphalt shingleClass 4 rated. Often earns an insurance discount where hail is a factor. | $825 – $1,300 | $16,500 – $37,500 | 25 to 35 years |
| Concrete tileThe tile lasts far longer than the underlayment beneath it, which is the catch. | $1,200 – $2,100 | $24,000 – $61,000 | 40 to 60 years |
| Clay barrel tileOften salvaged and re-laid over new underlayment rather than replaced. | $1,600 – $3,200 | $32,000 – $93,000 | 50 to 80 years |
What moves the number
- Permit and inspection fees, which vary more between towns than people expect
- Access — a truck that cannot get near the house adds hours to every load
- Warranty tier, which is really a question about who honours it in fifteen years
- Whether the valleys, drip edge and step flashing are being replaced or reused
- How many old layers have to come off before the new one goes on
Common repairs
| Emergency tarp-over | $425 – $1,200 |
|---|---|
| Small leak, flashing or a few shingles | $475 – $1,300 |
| Valley, chimney or skylight reflash | $925 – $3,000 |
| Section replacement, one slope | $1,500 – $5,400 |

Common questions
What time of year is best to re-roof in San Dimas?
Here, the long dry run from May to October is the easy window. November through March is when the phone rings hardest, which means less flexibility on dates and less room on price.
What warranty should I expect?
Ask for both in writing: the material warranty from the manufacturer and the workmanship warranty from the contractor. The second one is the one that matters in year three, and it is only as good as the company behind it.
What happens to my information?
Your details are passed to up to three local roofing contractors so they can quote. That is the only use. You can ask us to delete them at any time, and there is a do-not-sell page for exactly that.
Are the contractors licensed and insured?
Contractors have to give us their state licence number and proof of liability and workers compensation cover before they can receive requests. You should still ask to see current certificates yourself before work starts — a licence can lapse between checks.
Do I have to hire anyone?
Not at all. Plenty of people use this to find out what a job costs and then do nothing for a year. That is a perfectly reasonable outcome.
Do I need a permit?
Yes, in nearly every jurisdiction a re-roof is permitted work. A contractor who suggests skipping it is telling you something useful about how they work.
Roofing in San Dimas: the local picture
It sits well inland, so the weather that matters is temperature and rainfall rather than salt. San Dimas holds about 33,226 residents in Los Angeles County. Houses sit on more land than they would in a city, which usually means more roof area per house than the averages assume.
The problem that comes up first here is dry offshore wind that arrives all at once in autumn. Dry offshore wind lifts material that damp coastal air had been holding down. Most wind losses here happen on a handful of nights a year.
The second problem is the marine layer keeping the north slope damp. Damp that arrives every morning and leaves by lunchtime is worse for a roof than rain, because nothing ever fully dries between one and the next.
It is worth asking any contractor to explain how they handle it — the answer separates the people who work here from the people passing through.

Marine layer damp and slow drying

Ember and wildfire exposure
Class A assemblies and closed-off vents matter more here than the colour of the shingle.

Worth reading first
Short, specific, and written to be useful before you talk to anybody.
Is your roof due? A two-field check
When it was last done and what it is made of gets you most of the way to the answer. No contact details, nothing sent anywhere — the arithmetic happens in your browser.
Do not know? Use the year the house was built. That is what a roofer assumes until they get up there.
Not sure between shingle types? Architectural is the thicker, layered-looking one and is the usual answer.
What to look at, from the ground and from the attic
A guide from rated material life, not an inspection. Nothing here has seen your roof. Two roofs of the same age on the same street routinely need different things, and only somebody up a ladder can tell you which yours is.
