FAQ
Common questions
Is the estimate really free?
Yes. Skyline Energy Roofing assesses the roof and gives you a written estimate at no cost and with no obligation. A full roof inspection is a separate, paid service.
Who does the work?
Skyline Energy Roofing, a roofing contractor licensed by the California Contractors State License Board (license #1105295). Clever books the estimate; it is not a contractor.
How do I know whether to repair or replace?
A leak in one place can usually be repaired. Leaks in several places, shingles that have lost their granules or brittle underlayment under tiles point to replacement. The roofer tells you after looking at the roof.
How much does a new roof cost in Los Angeles?
It depends on the roof’s size, materials, condition and how easy it is to reach. The estimate is free and in writing.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof?
Roof replacement generally requires a permit in the City of Los Angeles, and other cities have their own rules. The roofer tells you what your address needs.
Is there a warranty?
Skyline Energy Roofing’s work is backed by warranty. The terms come in writing with your estimate.
Which roofs do you work on?
Asphalt shingle, clay and concrete tile, metal and flat roofs, plus gutters, on homes and commercial buildings.
What should I do if water is coming in right now?
Catch the water, move what you can, take photos and call. Don’t go up on a wet roof.
Will my insurance pay for it?
Coverage depends on your policy and what caused the damage. Your insurer answers that.
Which areas do you serve?
Los Angeles County, California: Central Los Angeles and the Westside, the San Fernando Valley, the San Gabriel Valley, the South Bay, Long Beach and the Gateway Cities.
Does my new roof have to be a cool roof?
Often, yes. California’s energy code and the City of Los Angeles set cool roof requirements for many reroofs, with exceptions. The roofer explains what applies to your home.
Does it cost anything to book?
No. Calling and booking are free, and the price of any work is in writing before it starts.
