Roof storm damage in San Dimas, CA
Storm work attracts two kinds of contractor: the ones who live here, and the ones who followed the weather in. Only one of them will answer the phone next spring.
Describe the storm damage job
Three questions, then the address. Up to three San Dimas contractors who do this work.

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.
- Photographs of the damage before any work happens
- What the emergency tarp costs, separate from the repair
- A written scope of the work, line by line
- Whether the contractor is licensed and insured in this state
- A local address you could actually drive to
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.
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.
Locally
The second problem is the marine layer keeping the north slope damp. Damp that arrives every morning and leaves by lunchtime is worse for a roof than rain, because nothing ever fully dries between one and the next.
About storm damage here
What happens to my information?
It goes to a maximum of three roofing contractors working in San Dimas, 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.
Do I have to hire anyone?
No. Take the quotes, sit on them, compare them, or throw them away. There is nothing to cancel and nothing owed.
I rent. Can I use this?
Only the owner can approve roofing work. If you are renting, the fastest route is to send this to your landlord or property manager rather than gathering quotes nobody can act on.
Do I need a permit?
Yes, in nearly every jurisdiction a re-roof is permitted work. A contractor who suggests skipping it is telling you something useful about how they work.
