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.
Or call (951) 574-0574Describe the storm damage job
Three questions, then the address. Up to three Murrieta contractors who do this work.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Murrieta 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.
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 you can put in front of an adjuster
- 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 your claim than a fast one who is already on the roof.
Photograph the outside, the inside, and the date. Then get a tarp on it. An adjuster can work with photographs of the original damage; they cannot work with your description of what it looked like before the repair.
Keep every receipt, including the tarp and the emergency call-out. Reasonable measures to prevent further damage are usually recoverable, and usually forgotten.
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.
