Licensing in California is handled by the Department of Consumer Affairs Contractors State License Board. Contractors are required to have an active license to work on roofing projects valued over $500, and in most cases must be bonded.
There are a number of things you can consider when choosing a roofer, including:
The cost of roof cleaning will vary depending on where you are, but the average cost in California is about $581. Factors like the size of your roof and how long the cleaning takes will also affect the total cost.
The best way to get an idea of how much roof repairs might cost is to talk to a contractor directly, as many factors could influence the price tag. On average, California homeowners pay around $1,145 for roof repairs.
Typically, California homeowners pay around $8,887 to replace a roof. This cost will fluctuate depending on where you live, and will be influenced by factors like the material used, the size and accessibility of your roof, and how many stories your home has.
The types of warranties or guarantees offered by roofing contractors usually fall into two groups: labor and materials. Guarantees protecting you from labor issues are referred to as contractor or workmanship guarantees. Guarantees protecting you against faulty materials are called manufacturing or materials guarantees.
