Step 1 of 6

What best describes your home?

Different buildings need different crews, so this is the first thing a roofer asks.

No cost to you. Contractors pay us, you do not.

01

Are you a roofing company?

No. Timberline Roof Systems 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.

02

Do you handle commercial buildings?

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.

03

How quickly will someone call?

Most requests are picked up the same day, often within an hour. Emergencies are prioritised. If you have not heard anything by the next morning, check voicemail — contractors usually call from a mobile.

04

How much deposit is normal?

Ten to thirty per cent is ordinary, and is often used to order material. A demand for full payment up front is a reason to walk away.

05

What should I do to prepare?

Clear the driveway, protect attic storage from falling dust, and plan for two loud days. Agree in advance where the dumpster goes and who sweeps for nails.

06

Can I just put a new roof over the old one?

Codes in most places allow two layers. That does not make it wise. You lose the chance to see the deck, and the next roofer has twice as much to remove.

07

What time of year is best to re-roof in Cudahy?

Here, the long dry run from May to October is the easy window. November through March is when the phone rings hardest, which means less flexibility on dates and less room on price.

08

Do I have to hire anyone?

No. Take the quotes, sit on them, use them to argue with your insurer, or throw them away. There is nothing to cancel and nothing owed.

09

Can I stay in the house while it is done?

Most people do. Expect noise from early morning, dust in the attic, and a day where the driveway belongs to the crew.

10

What if the decking is rotten underneath?

Some of it usually is. The important thing is that the price per sheet is agreed in writing before the tear-off, so the conversation on day two is about quantity rather than rate.

11

Are the contractors licensed and insured?

We require a licence number and current insurance from every contractor in the network. Verify it yourself anyway. Your state licensing board has a free lookup, and it takes two minutes.

12

What happens to my information?

It goes to a maximum of three roofing contractors working in Cudahy, and to nobody else. We do not sell it as a mailing list and we do not post it anywhere public. Our privacy policy sets out exactly what is shared.

13

Do you cover the whole Los Angeles County area?

We match across Cudahy and the neighbouring communities in Los Angeles County. Put the ZIP of the property in and it will route to whoever actually covers it.

14

How long should a roof last here?

An architectural asphalt roof is rated for twenty-five to thirty years and, in this climate, tends to land at the lower end of that. Tile and metal go much further, provided what is underneath them is maintained.

15

What warranty should I expect?

Two separate things. The manufacturer covers the material for its rated life, but only if it was installed to their specification. The contractor covers workmanship, commonly five to ten years, and only for as long as they are trading.

16

How long does a re-roof take?

Two days is typical for asphalt. Add days for steep pitch, multiple layers to strip, tile work, or a roof with a lot of valleys and penetrations.
