SHINGLEROOFING

A roofer's read on Commerce

Every town in Los Angeles County treats a roof a little differently, and whatever fails first on these roofs fails at the edges. The shop is about 6 miles southeast, which is why we can be out the same day.

Neighbouring work in Maywood, Bell Gardens and Bell means materials are already staged nearby.

• Tile is sorted and reused where it is sound, which keeps the roof looking original.
• We photograph every penetration before and after, so the file shows the work.
• We work around tenants and business hours where the building is occupied.
• Skylights are re-flashed as part of the job rather than quoted as an extra later.
• We protect landscaping and the pool before a single bundle comes off the truck.

We would rather be on your roof in September than during the first atmospheric river. We will tell you if the Commerce roof has years left in it rather than sell you a new one.

What you can expect from us

We show you the soft spots before they are covered, not after.

• Ventilation gets looked at while the roof is open; most Commerce attics run hotter than they should.
• Change orders are discussed before anything is done, not billed afterwards.
• The quote lists materials and labour separately so you can see what you are buying.
• Rake and eave metal is new on every job; reusing bent metal is false economy.

What the street looks like in Commerce

We work on Commerce roofs most weeks, and the pattern is consistent: the wind arrives dry and loaded with grit that scours the surface. We cover Commerce from about 6 miles southeast, close enough for emergency calls.

Maywood, Bell Gardens and Bell are on the same route, which keeps follow-ups easy.

• Skylights are re-flashed as part of the job rather than quoted as an extra later.
• We photograph every penetration before and after, so the file shows the work.
• Material is delivered the morning of the job, not left on the driveway for a week.
• Skylights are flashed new rather than reused, because that is where the next leak starts.
• Gutters are pulled and refitted where they block a proper drip edge.

Summer is for planned work; winter is for emergencies nobody planned. Nothing is booked until you have photos, a scope and a written price.

Questions Commerce owners ask us

Change orders are written and signed, never verbal.

• You get a start date and a finish date in writing, and we hold them.
• Synthetic underlayment goes down over the whole deck, not just the valleys.
• We check the attic as well as the roof; half of what we find shows from underneath.
• Edges are fastened to spec because that is where uplift starts.
