How to spot a chaser
A legitimate roofer is licensed for the work and carries liability and workers' comp. A real local roofer documents the actual damage honestly and is still here next year. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every call.
We play the long game, because in this trade reputation is everything. Watch for the post-storm door-knock and the high-pressure pitch. Wind lifts and creases shingles, breaking the seal that holds them down.
Real storm damage is often invisible from the ground. That is the difference between a roofer you trust and one you tolerate. A dramatically low bid is a signal that something is being skipped.
The lowball signal
Ask whether they tear off or lay over, and whether they replace the flashing. It is why we anticipate the failure points before we even climb up. We document the actual condition and hand you the pictures.
You should never have to take a roofer's word that your flashing failed. The right roofer inspects honestly, quotes in writing, and stands behind the work. We repair and match materials in ways that fit the existing roof.
An out-of-area outfit is guessing on your Pasadena roof; we are not. You should never have to take a roofer's word that your flashing failed. Ask what the workmanship warranty is and whether they will be here to honor it.
