Common Questions
What homeowners ask
What is a C-39 roofing license?
C-39 is the California Roofing Contractor license. Any roofer performing roofing work over $500 in California must hold an active C-39 license. We verify every contractor against the live CSLB database.
How long does a re-roof take?
A shingle re-roof on a typical 2,000 sq ft home usually takes 1–3 days. Tile re-roofing takes longer (5–10 days) due to the tile installation process. Permits add time for inspections.
Do I need a permit to replace my roof?
Yes, most California cities require a permit for a full re-roof. Your C-39 licensed contractor handles the permit application. Inspections are typically required at several stages.
Does homeowner's insurance cover roof replacement?
If the roof was damaged by fire, wind, or hail, homeowner's insurance often covers replacement minus your deductible. Normal wear and age is typically not covered. TipTopRestoration.com — our emergency restoration partner — can help with storm damage claims.
