A roof done quietly,
and done right.

Yes — and I'll show you the paperwork before you sign anything.

Samuel Roofing Inc. is licensed with the CSLB (license #1137536, C-39 Roofing), bonded, and insured — general liability and workers' compensation. If someone gets hurt on your property or something gets damaged, you're covered. That isn't optional in this trade, and a contractor who hesitates when you ask is telling you something.

Most roofs I do land between $9,000 and $25,000. That's a wide range. Here's what moves it:

• The roof type — shingle, tile, metal, or flat. Different jobs, different materials.
• The pitch — a steep roof takes longer and costs more to work on safely.
• Access — can a dumpster sit next to the house, or does every piece of debris get carried out by hand?
• What's underneath — how many layers, the condition of the deck, and what we find once the old roof comes off.

What I won't do is give you one number now and a different one later. The scope, the price, and what happens if we find something unexpected are all written into the agreement before we start. You'll know what you're paying before the first shingle comes off.

Two separate warranties, covering two different things.

My workmanship warranty is 10 years. That's the labor — how the roof was installed. If something fails because of how we put it on, I come back and fix it.

The manufacturer's warranty covers the materials, and it depends on what goes on your roof:

• Shingles — the manufacturer's limited lifetime warranty; as an Owens Corning Preferred Contractor I can extend that to 50 years
• Flat roof systems — usually 15 to 20 years
• Silicone coatings — 10 to 20 years, depending on how thick the material is applied

I'll tell you exactly which warranty applies to your job before you sign — not after.

You see it. All of it.

When the old roof comes off, we photograph everything — drone shots and close-ups. If you want to come up and look for yourself, it's your house; I'm not going to stop you.

Here's the part most contractors don't put in writing: my agreement already covers up to 10% wood replacement. On most jobs that's more than enough. When it isn't, you already know the price — the per-sheet cost for plywood and the per-foot cost for board repair are in the agreement before we start. There's no phone call where the number suddenly changes.

I'd rather give you the honest number up front than surprise you halfway through. Nobody enjoys that conversation, and I've been on the other side of it.

California law caps a down payment at $1,000 or 10% of the contract, whichever is less. I follow that exactly.

A $20,000 job means $1,000 down — not $2,000. An $8,500 job means $850. Whichever number is smaller.

You also get three business days to cancel under California law, no reason required. I don't deposit the check during that window. It goes in when we start the work — not before.

The rest is a written payment schedule in the agreement, tied to the stages of your job, so you can see exactly what's due and when. Nothing is a surprise, and I'm flexible about working it around what fits you. You're letting me into your home and trusting me with your roof. The least I can do is make the money side clear and comfortable.
