Find out what you are actually dealing with
Half the people who ask for a replacement need a repair, and a handful of the people who ask for a repair need a replacement. An hour on the roof sorts that out.
What a inspection job actually involves
These are the things a quote for this work has to account for. If a contractor has not mentioned them, they have not looked properly.
- Whether the fee comes off the job if you proceed
- An estimated number of years left in the covering
- Whether the inspection includes going into the attic
- A written report, not a verbal summary
- Photographs of anything they flag
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Orange 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.
The point of an inspection is not to find a disaster. It is to find the two hundred dollar problem before it becomes a twelve thousand dollar one.
Free inspections are tied to an estimate, which is fine as long as you know that going in. Paid inspections buy you a written report that is not attached to somebody wanting the work.
Ask for an estimated remaining life in years, and what would extend it. That answer is the useful part.
Locally
Behind it: shaded slopes that never really dry out. Nothing dramatic happens. A slope stays damp most mornings for thirty years, and eventually that is enough.
About inspection here
What does a new roof cost in Orange?
For a typical Orange home of about 25 squares, an architectural asphalt re-roof usually lands between $13,000 and $29,000. Tile, slate and standing-seam metal run well above that. The number moves on how many old layers come off, how much decking is soft underneath, and how easily a truck can get to the house.
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 you handle commercial buildings?
We do. It is a different set of contractors — commercial and low-slope work is a separate trade from residential re-roofing — so answering the property question accurately matters.
Are you a roofing company?
No, and it matters that we say so. We are a referral service, not a contractor. The roofing work, the licence, the insurance and the warranty all sit with the independent company you choose.

No cost, no obligation, and never more than three contractors.
