How we list companies

Companies are listed when their Google rating is 4.5 or higher. When a current Yelp listing for the same business is on file, we combine both ratings, weighted by review count, and it must still be 4.5 or higher. Ratings belong to Google and Yelp, separate from reviews of TrustedLocals jobs.

A listing is not an endorsement. You can also browse other listed qualifying companies. Directory listings do not grant a partner slot or change where a TrustedLocals request is routed. Website and call links contact a business directly, outside TrustedLocals request routing.

Leaks, repairs and replacement

An active leak needs a temporary cover first. A tarp or emergency patch stops the water while the repair is planned, and a company that insists on a full replacement before stopping the leak has its priorities wrong.

A roof leak is not always a failure of the shingles or tiles themselves. Leaks often start at the details: the metal flashing around chimneys, vents and skylights, the valleys where two slopes meet, cracked rubber seals around pipes, and clogged gutters that push water back under the edge. A good inspection looks at those first, then at the covering, the waterproof underlayment beneath it and the wood deck beneath that. Ask for photos of what was found and a written scope that says why the recommended work is the right one.

Repair versus replacement comes down to age, extent and the layer underneath. Asphalt shingle roofs have a finite life. Concrete and clay tile lasts much longer, but the underlayment under it does not, and a leaking tile roof is often fixed by lifting the tiles, replacing the underlayment and flashing, and relaying the same tiles. Low-slope and flat roofs, common on mid-century homes and additions, fail at seams and drains and need their own materials and methods.

Re-roofing needs a building permit from your city's building department; in the City of Los Angeles that is the Department of Building and Safety, and the licensed contractor normally gets it. In the City of Los Angeles, a residential re-roof that replaces more than half the roof must use a cool roof product rated by the Cool Roof Rating Council. Elsewhere, California's energy code can require a cool roof depending on the roof type and climate zone. Homes in a High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone must use a Class A fire-rated roof assembly under the state's wildland-urban interface code. A contractor who works here knows these rules; one who does not mention them is a warning sign.

Roofing contractors hold the C-39 classification from the Contractors State License Board, and California requires a roofing contractor to carry workers' compensation whether or not it has employees. Check the record at cslb.ca.gov for an active license, the bond and a workers' compensation policy rather than an exemption. Roofing is dangerous work, and if a company has no coverage and a worker is hurt on your property, the claim can land on you.

After a storm, be wary of anyone who knocks on the door offering a free inspection; the Contractors State License Board warns homeowners about this pattern after storms and fires. Never pay a large deposit up front: California law caps a home improvement down payment at $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less. A contract signed at your home can be canceled in writing within three business days, five if you are 65 or older, and seven if the work repairs damage from a declared disaster.
