What people want to know before they hand over a phone number, and what they ask once the calls start.
No cost to you. Contractors pay us, you do not.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Long Beach and the surrounding area.
If you do not hear anything today, check your voicemail and spam folder — contractors often call from a mobile number.
No. Lighthouse Roofing & Exteriors of Long Beach 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.
A straightforward asphalt roof on an average house is one to three days. Tile, slate and complex rooflines take longer, and weather stops work more often than anything else.
Most people do. Expect noise from early morning, dust in the attic, and a day where the driveway belongs to the crew.
A third at most, and never the full amount. Pay the balance when the job is finished and you have walked it. Some states cap the deposit by law.
Only if it is the same roof. Most large gaps between quotes are scope gaps. Ask the cheapest contractor which of the other quotes items they have left out, and why.
Yes. The contractors we match on cover Long Beach and the surrounding towns, so if you are just outside the city limits it still works.
Only the owner can approve roofing work. If you are renting, the fastest route is to send this to your landlord or property manager rather than gathering quotes nobody can act on.
Up to three. That is a hard cap, not a guideline. Three is enough to compare and few enough that your phone stays usable.
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.
Rough rule: if the covering has more than about five years left and the damage is confined to one area, repair. If it is at the end of its life or you are patching the third leak in two years, you are paying instalments on a replacement.
Rated life and real life are different numbers. Here, salt and sun together tend to take the low end of any rated life. Ventilation and the quality of the installation move that more than the brand does.
Your details are passed to up to three local roofing contractors so they can quote. That is the only use. You can ask us to delete them at any time, and there is a do-not-sell page for exactly that.
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.
