Covina, CA
Where the water goes after it leaves the roof
A roof that drains badly rots at the edges first — fascia, soffit, then the ends of the rafters. All of it cheaper to prevent than to replace.

Three questions, then the address. Up to three Covina contractors who do this work.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Covina 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.
Before you let anybody on the roof
The things worth pinning down on a gutters job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- Gutter size against the roof area draining into it
- Where the water is discharged, and how far from the foundation
- Condition of the fascia behind the old gutter
- Seamless or sectional, and what gauge of aluminium
- Number and position of downspouts
Downspouts are where most systems actually fail — too few of them, or discharging straight against the foundation.
Seamless aluminium formed on site is the default. Sectional gutter from a box store is cheaper and leaks at every joint within a few years.
Check the fascia before the gutter goes back up. Hanging new metal off soft wood buys you a year.
Locally
Close behind that: shaded slopes that never really dry out. Slopes that never get direct sun stay wet for hours after the fog burns off, and that is where moss, lifted shingles and soft decking start.
About gutters here
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.
Are the contractors licensed and insured?
Contractors have to give us their state licence number and proof of liability and workers compensation cover before they can receive requests. You should still ask to see current certificates yourself before work starts — a licence can lapse between checks.
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.
Is this really free?
Yes. You pay nothing, now or later. Roofing contractors pay us for the introduction, which is why the service costs you nothing and why we are upfront that it is how we make money.
Ready for a real number?
No cost, no obligation, and never more than three contractors.
