How long does a full roof replacement take?
For most standard residential homes (1,500 to 3,000 sq ft), a full tear-off and replacement takes between 2 to 4 business days, depending on weather conditions and the material type (slate and clay tiles take slightly longer than asphalt shingle overlays).
What kind of warranties do you offer?
We back our installations with a comprehensive 10-year workmanship warranty covering all custom flashing, joints, and installation detailing. Furthermore, as CertainTeed Preferred contractors, we offer extended manufacturer warranties on materials that can span up to 50 years.
Do you offer discounts?
Yes, we do offer discounts that range depending on the reasoning for the discount, including seasonal promotions, multi-building commercial portfolios, and military/senior discounts.
Are you licensed and insured in California?
Absolutely. Elbac Roofing is fully licensed in the state of California (CA License #794674) and carries comprehensive general liability insurance, as well as full workers' compensation coverage for our team, ensuring complete protection for your property.
How do I know if I need a repair or a complete replacement?
If your roof is under 15 years old and experiencing an isolated leak or damaged shingles in a single area, a targeted repair is often suitable. If your roof is over 20 years old, shows widespread shingle curling, heavy granule loss, or recurring leaks in multiple rooms, a full replacement is recommended to prevent structural wood decking rot.
Does homeowners insurance cover storm and wind damage?
Homeowners insurance typically covers damage caused by sudden acts of nature such as severe wind, hail, or fallen trees. We provide free photographic inspection reports and meet your insurance adjuster on-site using standard Xactimate pricing to ensure full coverage.
What financing options are available?
We partner with GoodLeap to provide flexible monthly payment options with terms ranging from 5 to 20 years. You can pre-qualify in under 2 minutes with a soft credit check that does not impact your credit score, with 0% down options available.
What is California Title 24 Cool Roof compliance?
California Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Title 24) require roofing materials in specific climate zones to meet solar reflectance criteria. We install CertainTeed Landmark Solaris shingles and cool-roof TPO membranes that comply with all local codes while lowering cooling costs.
