Roof Titan was incredibly responsive. They answered on the first call, came out the next day, and had our leak fixed by the end of the week. Fair price, great work.

After three roofers ghosted us, Roof Titan showed up on time, gave us an honest quote, and did excellent repair work. They've earned a customer for life.

Common Questions

A professional roofing contractor inspection and a home inspector's roof assessment differ significantly in scope. A home inspector provides a visual, non-invasive survey of readily accessible roof areas -- they identify visible deficiencies but do not lift tiles or shingles to check underlayment, and typically do not include a moisture meter assessment. A licensed roofing contractor inspection includes: walking the full roof surface, lifting representative tile or shingle sections to assess underlayment condition, probing flashing with a probe tool, examining all penetrations (vents, skylights, HVAC curbs) from both above and inside the attic, using a moisture meter or infrared camera on suspected wet areas, and delivering a written report with photographs documenting every deficiency found. A full contractor inspection provides the detail needed for insurance claims, property transactions, and maintenance planning.

In the Los Angeles market, basic visual roof inspections are commonly offered at no charge by licensed roofing contractors as a standard practice. These typically cover visible surface conditions and take 30-60 minutes. More comprehensive inspections with moisture scanning, written reports, and attic evaluation cost $150-$400 from roofing contractors and $300-$650 from independent certified roof inspectors (such as NRCIA-certified inspectors). For real estate transactions, a roof certification inspection -- which results in a dated certificate of roof condition required by some lenders and buyers -- costs $200-$400. Infrared/thermal scanning as a stand-alone service for moisture mapping runs $300-$800 for a residential roof depending on square footage. RoofTitan offers free inspections that include a full written report with photos -- we recommend confirming the scope of any inspection, free or paid, before scheduling.

The NRCA (National Roofing Contractors Association) recommends inspections twice per year: once in spring (post-rainy-season) and once in fall (pre-rainy-season). In Southern California specifically, the fall inspection -- typically October or November before the November-through-March rainy season -- is the highest-value inspection because it identifies conditions that will turn into active leaks during the first significant rain. Southern California's unique climate creates a seasonal accumulation pattern: dry-season debris (leaves, palm fronds, bird nests, and dirt) clogs drains and covers early-stage membrane damage that is only revealed when rain arrives. Post-storm inspections after any wind event exceeding 50 mph are also warranted, as SoCal Santa Ana and Diablo wind conditions frequently dislodge tiles, lift flashings, and damage ridge caps.

Yes -- and this is the primary reason the roofing industry emphasizes proactive inspection. A professional roof inspection using moisture meters and infrared cameras regularly identifies wet insulation, failing underlayment, and compromised flashing that shows zero interior symptoms. By the time ceiling stains appear, water has typically infiltrated the structure for months and penetrated insulation, structural sheathing, and sometimes framing. Moisture damage discovered before interior intrusion typically costs $350-$1,500 to repair; the same damage discovered after it has caused ceiling, drywall, or structural damage typically costs $3,000-$15,000 when remediation and interior repair are included. Industry data suggests that for every $1 spent on proactive roof inspection and early repair, homeowners avoid $4-$6 in subsequent damage costs.

The ten items most commonly missed by homeowners that professional inspectors catch: (1) pipe boot seal failure -- the rubber collar around plumbing vents degrades silently and causes roughly 20% of residential leaks; (2) kickout flashing absence at wall-to-roof transitions, which causes water to flow behind siding and into wall cavities; (3) improper attic ventilation (too little or too much) causing premature shingle granule loss and decking rot; (4) nail pops -- raised fasteners that tent shingles and create entry points; (5) soft spots in the roof deck indicating plywood delamination beneath intact shingles; (6) step flashing separation at roof-to-wall junctions hidden under siding; (7) interior attic staining that predates a visible ceiling stain; (8) gutter end cap failures causing water to channel against fascia and into the eave; (9) moss and algae growth under shingles visible only from adjacent areas; (10) solar panel mount corrosion creating micro-leak risk years before any water intrusion.

No -- a professional inspection by a licensed contractor does not void a manufacturer warranty. In fact, most manufacturer warranties require documented regular inspections to keep coverage active. What can void a roofing warranty is: unauthorized repairs performed by an uncertified contractor, modifications such as solar panel mounting without proper flashing that meets the manufacturer's specification, and applying incompatible materials over the warranted system. California law under Business and Professions Code 7159 requires contractors to provide written contracts for work. If your roof is under an NDL manufacturer warranty, verify that inspection requirements are met per the warranty terms -- typically an annual or biannual documented inspection by a manufacturer-authorized contractor.

A roof certification is a written statement issued by a licensed roofing contractor (C-39 license required in California) certifying that the roof is in satisfactory condition and is expected to perform leak-free for a stated period -- typically 2, 3, or 5 years. Real estate transactions in California commonly require a roof certification when: the listing discloses known roof issues; the buyer's lender requires it as a loan condition; the property is being sold as-is and the buyer requests it as a contingency; or local custom in markets like LA County where deferred maintenance is common. A roof certification in the LA market costs $200-$400 and should include a full written inspection report documenting current condition, any deficiencies found, and repairs recommended or completed to support the certification. Certifications reflect the inspector's professional opinion at a point in time and do not guarantee against subsequent storm damage or unforeseen failure.

Infrared thermal imaging detects moisture and heat anomalies invisible to the naked eye by measuring temperature differentials across the roof surface. After sunset, when the roof is cooling, wet insulation retains heat longer than dry insulation -- creating hot spots that show clearly in thermal imaging. Thermal inspection reliably detects: saturated insulation beneath membrane systems; delaminated roof decking that has absorbed moisture but shows no visible surface damage; moisture trapped beneath tiles from failed underlayment; blocked drain paths causing subsurface moisture migration; and inadequate attic insulation creating heat signatures visible from the exterior. Thermal inspection does not detect all deficiencies -- surface cracking, fastener issues, and flashing separation require a concurrent visual inspection. The combination of visual plus thermal is the standard protocol for commercial reroofing assessments and pre-purchase inspections on higher-value LA-area homes.
