Answers
Roof replacement questions from El Cajon homeowners
How much does a roof replacement cost in El Cajon?
It depends on the size, the roof type and what's under the old roof. We inspect, photograph what we find and give you a free written estimate — no surprise charges.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most homes take a few working days once materials arrive. Tile and larger roofs can take longer. We give you the schedule in writing.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof in El Cajon?
The City of El Cajon generally requires a permit for re-roofing. We handle the permit for you.
Repair or replace — how do I know?
If the problem is local and the roof is sound, repair it. If leaks keep coming back or the underlayment has failed across the roof, replacing is the better value. We'll tell you honestly.
