Roofing
One of the most costly home maintenance tasks that homeowners may face is the replacement of the roof of their homes. The installation of roofs is governed by the provisions of the California Building Code and the Manufacturer's written installation instructions.
Before You Start
There are specific requirements for roofs that include:
- California Building Code compliance
- Manufacturer's installation and specification requirements
- Energy Efficient requirements/testing from the Cool Roof Rating Council
- Energy Compliance Forms available from EnergyCodeAce
- Planning approval if colors/design are changing
A California Licensed Contractor should be familiar with these requirements.
Hiring a Contractor
Always use a California Licensed Contractor and obtain a minimum of three written estimates. The California State License Board has helpful information on how to hire a contractor, verify license information, and how to review construction contracts. Learn more.
