Frequently Asked Questions
Select Roof Repair handles roof inspections, roof repairs, and full roof replacements only. That narrow scope is deliberate: it’s all we do, so the answers below come from a roofer’s perspective, not a general contractor’s. If your question isn’t here, call us at (855) 382-0485 and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Key Takeaways
- We’re a roofing-only company; our three services are inspection, repair, and replacement.
- We work with seven major manufacturers, so material recommendations follow the job, not inventory.
- Standalone inspections are available with no repair or replacement purchase required.
- Free estimates, and materials matched to your home, budget, and climate.
- Built for Westminster’s coastal marine layer: tile and metal dominate, and that shapes how we diagnose leaks.
Pricing & Estimates
How much does roofing service cost in Westminster?
Roofing service in Westminster runs roughly $250 to $650 for a targeted repair, and full replacement typically lands between $12,000 and $30,000 depending on square footage and material. The wide range is real: a two-square flashing repair on a stucco-sided tract home in Westminster is a very different job than a full Boral tile re-roof. We give line-item pricing before any work starts, so you’re comparing actual numbers instead of a lump sum with asterisks.
Here’s a rough breakdown of what drives cost in this market:
| Service | Typical range | What moves the number |
|---|---|---|
| Roof inspection | Free to $250 | Whether it’s a standalone assessment or tied to a repair |
| Targeted repair (flashing, vents, small leak) | $250 – $650 | Access, pitch, material match |
| Larger repair or section replacement | $800 – $2,500 | Number of squares, underlayment condition |
| Metal re-roof | $16,000 – $30,000 | Panel type, square footage, tear-off |
| Tile re-roof (Boral, etc.) | $14,000 – $28,000 | Underlayment, tile salvage vs. new |
| Asphalt shingle replacement (GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning) | $12,000 – $20,000 | Pitch, layers, ventilation upgrades |

Do you offer free estimates?
Yes, Select Roof Repair offers free estimates on repairs and replacements. The inspection itself can be scheduled as a standalone service, so you can get a professional assessment without committing to any work. That matters in a market where homeowners get sold on full replacements they didn’t need. We diagnose first, price second, and let you decide.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace my roof?
Repair is usually cheaper when the damage is local: a failed vent boot, cracked flashing, or a leak isolated to one slope. Replacement makes more financial sense when the underlayment is failing across the field, when the roof is past its expected service life, or when repairs would be repeated within a year or two. In Westminster, the marine layer speeds up underlayment aging on tile roofs, so we look closely at that layer before recommending a repair that will only buy you a season. Nobody likes paying for a fix twice.
How much does a roof leak repair cost in Westminster?
Most roof leak repairs in Westminster fall between $300 and $700, and the price depends on locating the source and fixing it properly, not just sealing what you can see. Leaks on tile roofs here often track downhill under the tile, so the wet spot on your ceiling can be one, two, or more tiles uphill from the actual entry point. We trace it back before we touch anything. Call (855) 382-0485 and we’ll get eyes on it.
Do you require a deposit before work starts?
No, we don’t ask for a large upfront deposit, and we don’t take final payment until the work is completed and inspected. You’ll get the pricing in writing before any materials are ordered. That standard applies whether it’s a single flashing repair or a full re-roof with Boral tile.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept checks, major credit cards, and standard financing options through third-party lenders. Payment terms are spelled out on your estimate, so there aren’t surprises after the last nail goes in. If financing is part of your plan for a full replacement, ask about it when you call, so we can build the options into the quote from the start.
Service & Scheduling
Do you offer emergency roofing service?
Yes, Select Roof Repair responds to emergency roof calls, and we prioritize active leaks, storm damage, and situations where water is getting into the house. When you call, we’ll ask what’s happening on site: where the leak is showing, whether it’s a single spot or spreading, and whether the ceiling is sagging or the drywall is soaked. That lets us tell you what to do right away and how soon we can be there. Call (855) 382-0485 and we’ll triage it with you.
How fast can you respond?
We typically respond to emergency roof calls the same day during working hours and schedule non-emergency inspections within a few business days. Westminster’s winter rain bands compress the schedule, so the fastest response goes to active leaks. The best thing you can do is call as soon as you notice a problem, since a soggy section of decking is a much bigger job than a dry one. We’ll be honest about timing when we talk, not after you’ve waited.
How does the inspection process work?
A roof inspection at Select Roof Repair takes about an hour and gives you a written assessment of what’s failing and what’s fine. We inspect the field, the flashings, the penetrations, the underlayment, the attic, and the drainage, and then we show you what we found. Here’s the sequence:
- Call and describe the symptoms. Leak location, age of the roof, and any recent work all help us prepare.
- On-site assessment. We check the roof surface, flashings, valleys, vents, and the attic underside if accessible.
- Written findings. You get photos and a plain-language summary, not a sales pitch.
- Recommendation. Repair, replacement, or monitor, based on what’s actually wrong.
- You decide. There’s no obligation to move forward with repair or replacement.
We offer standalone inspections with no purchase required. If you’d like to see the difference in how this is done, our home page lays out the service arc.
What areas do you serve?
Select Roof Repair serves Westminster and the surrounding Orange County area, including nearby cities that share the same coastal weather patterns. Roofs a few miles inland face different conditions than roofs closer to the coast: more morning moisture, more salt air, more sun exposure on south-facing slopes. We account for that when we scope a repair or replacement. For a clear picture of exactly where we work, call and we’ll tell you.
Can you come today?
Often, yes, for active leaks and storm damage. If the water is already coming in, call and tell us what you’re seeing, and we’ll give you an honest read on how soon we can be on site. Non-emergency inspections are typically scheduled within a few business days. Calling (855) 382-0485 is the fastest way to find out whether there’s room in the schedule today.
Licensing & Trust
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, Select Roof Repair is licensed and insured, and we’re happy to provide documentation on request before work begins. We recommend asking every roofing contractor you interview for proof of both, because a contractor without proper coverage can leave a homeowner exposed if someone gets hurt on the job. We’re a roofing-only company, not a general contractor spread across trades, and we operate with the liability coverage appropriate to that scope.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, Select Roof Repair backs its workmanship, and manufacturer warranties apply on the materials we install. Because we work with seven brands, we can tell you how the warranty terms differ between, say, a GAF shingle system and a CertainTeed or Owens Corning product, and which fits the specific job. Workmanship coverage is part of your written contract, so the terms are documented, not verbal. If something isn’t right, we come back and make it right.
Why does it matter that we’re roofing-only?
A roofing-only company sees roofs every day, so the diagnosis tends to be sharper and the fix tends to be the right one. We don’t do siding, windows, or painting; we inspect, repair, and replace roofs. That focus is our entire business model, and it’s the reason we can tell the difference between a flashings problem that needs a $400 repair and a failing underlayment that needs replacement. The roofing-only scope is the core promise behind our name.
How do manufacturer relationships affect the work?
They give us flexibility. Select Roof Repair installs products from GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, Tamko, and Boral, so we’re not locked into one manufacturer’s catalog. When a Westminster home needs tile, we can look at Boral; when it needs asphalt, we compare GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, IKO, Atlas, and Tamko on what fits the pitch, budget, and lifespan you’re after. A roofer with one brand fits every roof that brand makes. We fit the roof you have.
Specific Services
Do you handle roof repair?
Yes, roof repair is one of our three core services, and it’s the one we’d prefer to recommend when the situation supports it. We handle flashing failures, vent and pipe boot leaks, cracked or missing tiles, storm damage, and localized shingle repairs. Repair is almost always the right call when the failure is contained and the rest of the roof is sound. If you’ve been told you need a full replacement, we’re happy to look and tell you whether that’s actually true.
Do you handle roof replacement and installation?
Yes, Select Roof Repair handles full roof replacement and new installation, including tear-off, underlayment, and the finished roof system. Replacement usually takes a few days depending on the size and pitch of the home. We use that same seven-brand portfolio to match the new roof to your house rather than to one supplier’s lineup. If replacement is the smarter long-term call, we’ll say so; we just prefer to be sure before we say it. You can read more about our repair-focused work in Roof Repair in Lynwood.
Do you handle metal roofing?
Yes, Select Roof Repair installs metal roofing, including standing-seam panels, which are a strong fit for Westminster’s coastal conditions. Metal resists the salt air, doesn’t rot, and handles the marine-layer moisture that shortens the life of other materials. It’s not right for every home, so we look at the roofline, the pitch, and how the house is built before recommending it. Metal also tends to outlast asphalt on the same house, which changes the cost calculation over time.
Do you handle tile roofing?
Yes, Select Roof Repair works with tile roofing, and we install Boral tile among the products we carry. Tile is common in Westminster, and the most misleading repair advice we hear is “the tile looks fine, so the roof is fine.” On tile roofs, the tile is the outer shell; the underlayment underneath is the real waterproof layer, and it ages decades before the tile does. We inspect that layer directly and fix what’s actually failing, not just what’s visible.
Should I get an inspection or a repair first?
Get an inspection first, unless water is actively coming into the house. An inspection tells you whether repair is the right call or whether the failure is bigger than it looks, and that determines what you pay. Skipping straight to a repair quote is how homeowners end up paying for the wrong job. Our standalone inspections don’t require a repair or replacement purchase, so there’s no pressure to move forward.
What should I check before calling a roofer?
Before you call, note when the leak first appeared, whether it’s a single spot or spreading, and what the weather was doing at the time. Also check the attic if you can get to it safely; water stains and damp decking underneath tell us a lot before we’re on the roof. Don’t climb up on the roof yourself to investigate, especially on a wet or steep pitch.
Is a roof inspection safe to do myself?
No, we don’t recommend walking your own roof. Roof work involves real fall risk, especially on steep pitches and wet surfaces after Westminster’s morning marine layer. Our inspectors are trained and equipped for the height, pitch, and conditions. If something looks wrong from the ground, stay off the roof and call us at (855) 382-0485.
