Roof storm damage in Murrieta, CA
The first hour after a storm is about stopping water, not about getting the best price. Those are two separate jobs and they happen in that order.

Before you let anybody on the roof
The things worth pinning down on a storm damage job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- Photographs of the damage before any work happens
- A written scope of the work, line by line
- Whether the contractor is licensed and insured in this state
- What the emergency tarp costs, separate from the repair
- A local address you could actually drive to
A local contractor who inspects and documents properly is more use to you than a fast one who is already on the roof.
Photograph the outside, the inside, and the date. Then get a tarp on it. Photographs of the original damage are a record nobody can argue with; a description of what it looked like before the repair is not.
Keep every receipt, including the tarp and the emergency call-out. They are part of the record of what happened and what it cost.
Locally
Close behind that: morning fog that sits on the roof until mid-morning. Slopes that never get direct sun stay wet for hours after the fog burns off, and that is where moss, lifted shingles and soft decking start.
About storm damage here
Are gutters included in a re-roof?
Usually not, unless the quote says so. If they are near the end of their life, replacing them during the re-roof is meaningfully cheaper than doing it later, because the crew and the staging are already there.
What happens to my information?
It goes to a maximum of three roofing contractors working in Murrieta, and to nobody else. We do not sell it as a mailing list and we do not post it anywhere public. Our privacy policy sets out exactly what is shared.
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.
Are you a roofing company?
No. Sentinel Roofing — Murrieta is a free matching service. We do not hold a roofing licence, we do not employ crews, and we never come to your house. We pass your request to independent local contractors who do the work and who you hire directly.
