Storm damage roofing in Norco
Photograph everything before anybody touches the roof. A record made on the day is worth more than any description afterwards.
Describe the storm damage job
Three questions, then the address. Up to three Norco contractors who do this work.
You are on the list.

- One email when someone can help. When a provider covering your area can take it on, we email you once and ask whether you want that company, by name, to contact you.
- Deleted after 90 days. If nobody can take it on, or you do not say yes, your contact details are deleted 90 days after your request.
- You decide, or you do not. There is nothing to cancel and nothing to pay us.
Nobody will call you about this request unless you say yes to a company by name.
Before you let anybody on the roof
The things worth pinning down on a storm damage job. A contractor who has not raised them has not looked properly.
- What the emergency tarp costs, separate from the repair
- A local address you could actually drive to
- Photographs of the damage before any work happens
- A written scope of the work, line by line
- Whether the contractor is licensed and insured in this state
Photograph the outside, the inside, and the date. Then get a tarp on it. Photographs of the original damage are a record nobody can argue with; a description of what it looked like before the repair is not.
A local contractor who inspects and documents properly is more use to you than a fast one who is already on the roof.
If two contractors describe the damage differently, ask each to show you on the roof or in their photographs. It changes the conversation.
Locally
Behind it: morning fog that sits on the roof until mid-morning. It is why two identical houses on the same street can be ten years apart on the same roof, depending on which way they face.
About storm damage here
What happens to my information?
It goes to a maximum of three roofing contractors working in Norco, 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.
What does a new roof cost in Norco?
Most quotes here for a standard asphalt replacement come in around $12,500 to $26,500. That assumes one layer to remove and sound decking. Every quote you get should say in writing what happens if the decking is not sound.
Can I just put a new roof over the old one?
Often you legally can, and it is usually a poor idea. Overlaying hides the condition of the decking, adds weight, shortens the life of the new shingles by trapping heat, and doubles the cost of the next tear-off.
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.
