How this works, end to end
No cleverness, no algorithm worth bragging about. A short form, a routing rule, and a hard cap of three contractors.
Get your quotes
No cost to you. Contractors pay us, you do not.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Long Beach 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.
Three steps, about a minute
There is no phone call to make and nothing to install. It is a form, and then contractors ring you.
Answer three questions
What kind of home it is, when you want the work done, and how you are hoping to pay. Then the address, and how to reach you. That is the whole thingvolved. No essays.
Matched to nearby contractors
Independent local companies, chosen on where they work and what they specialise in. Emergencies go out first.
Real numbers, then your call
Contractors contact you directly and quote after seeing the roof. There is no fee and nothing to cancel.
Illustrative photographs of roofing work in general. Not photographs of jobs arranged through this site.
Three, and no more. Enough to compare properly, few enough that your phone stays usable.
Not sold as a list. Your information goes to the contractors quoting your job, and to nobody else.
Licensed and insured. Checked before a contractor can receive requests.
It costs you nothing. The contractors pay for the introduction. There is no bill at any point.
What we do, and what we do not
Lighthouse Roofing & Exteriors of Long Beach is a matching service. We are not a licensed roofing contractor, we do not carry roofing crews, and nobody from this company will ever come to your house. What we do is take your request and hand it to independent roofing companies working in Long Beach and the surrounding Los Angeles County area.
The contract, the work, the warranty and the liability all sit between you and the contractor you choose. We are not a party to it, we take no share of the job, and we cannot make anybody honour anything. That is why the checks below matter and why we tell you to do a couple of them yourself.
How contractors get into the network
- They tell us which ZIP codes they genuinely cover, and what kind of roofing they actually do.
- They provide certificates of general liability and workers compensation insurance.
- They confirm the trades they take on — a tile crew and a flat-roof crew are not the same business.
- They agree to the three-contractor cap and to contacting you only about the request you submitted.
None of that is a substitute for your own check. Licences lapse, insurance expires, and companies change hands. Look the licence up on your state board before work starts, and ask for a certificate of insurance issued this month.
What happens to your information
Three contractors, and that is the entire distribution. No brokers, no lists, no advertising profiles built out of what you told us. The privacy policy sets out the detail, and the do-not-sell page is there if you would rather we did not share it at all.
Why it is free
Roofing contractors pay us for the introduction. That is the whole business model, and we would rather state it plainly than let you wonder. It also means the incentive runs the right way: a contractor who annoys homeowners does not stay in the network, because the requests stop being worth what they cost.
