With el nino already here, many homeowners are getting ready for the heavy rain that might be coming and the high demand for new roofs could spend prices skywards. Heres Michael Finney with the details. Richard and his wife have lived in this San Francisco home for 45 years. This is the first time in a while they have needed to have work done on their roof. I figured it was 22 years plus, and i heard rain was come, so we decided that we need to have it serviced. Richard isnt alone. Lawson roofing of San Francisco told us the company hasnt been this busy in its 100 year history. Lawson has more work on the books than it ever has. The threat of el nino has roofers backed up with enough work for several months. The current wait to get even an estimate is about two months. You have to wait another three months before any work begins. Its so busy, two roofers, a 7 on your side producer scheduled for an estimate on his home, never showed up. The demand means many roofers can charge a premium. Im sure the prices are going up now. Once you start to get a backlog. Our 7 on your side producer received four estimates, including one from a local trade group. The associated Roofing Contractors of the bay area counties. Richard lawson looked at the leak in the home and then sent someone up on the roof for a closer inspection. You are probably looking at a repair of about 2500. We then showed him three other estimates. One we received was for 13,000. It covers work on a 15foot square foot area of the roof versus the 4 square foot area lawson recommended. Its a more conservative approach. I dont think its necessary based on what i see. Lawson calls the price fair for the work proposed. A second estimate was much less expensive and closer to what lawson suggested, 1200. A third caught lawson by surprise. This is the entire estimate . Despite several promises the roofer never put his estimate in writing and did not climb up to inspect the roof. He said he had replaced the roof of a home in the same development and thought a similar job would be needed for us. The contractor recommended replacing the entire roof for 38,000. I would be a little suspicious of this. I would like to see any proposal you get done in writing, spelling out the scope of the work so you can make a decision whats being done for you. All of them were licensed with the state of california and carried is contractors bond and workers comp insurance. These are musthaves when hiring a roofer. Also be sure to get references.
