Question 1

Does APR Roofing use subcontractors or temporary day laborers?

Accepted Answer

Never. Every project is executed 100% by our own full-time, in-house trained roofing technicians under the direct oversight of Mike and our master job foremen. This guarantees consistent craftsmanship, strict safety compliance, and direct accountability.

Question 2

What is your California contractor license status?

Accepted Answer

We are fully licensed with the California Contractors State License Board under CSLB #947534 (Classification C-39 Roofing Contractor). We maintain full state bonding, comprehensive commercial general liability insurance ($2,000,000 policy), and full workers compensation for all crew members.

Question 3

What does California Title 24 Cool Roof compliance mean for my home?

Accepted Answer

California Building Standards Code (Title 24) mandates high solar reflectance and thermal emittance for residential and commercial roofs in Climate Zones like the Antelope Valley and Los Angeles. We install Title 24 compliant "Cool Roof" shingles and reflective white TPO membranes that reflect solar radiation, keeping attic spaces up to 30°F cooler and substantially reducing summer air conditioning costs.

Question 4

How long does a complete residential roof replacement take?

Accepted Answer

An average single-family home (2,000 to 3,500 sq ft) is typically completed in 2 to 4 working days. Day 1: complete tear-off to raw decking, dry rot inspection, and waterproof underlayment sealing. Day 2-3: shingle or tile installation, valley flashing, ridge vents, and pipe boots. Final day: magnetic cleanups and final inspection.

Question 5

Can you repair a roof leak without having to replace the entire roof?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your roofing underlayment and decking are structurally sound and the leak is caused by localized damage—such as slipped Spanish tiles, compromised valley metal, or dried pipe collars—we perform targeted structural repairs with photographic documentation. We never push full replacement when a targeted repair is appropriate.

Question 6

What commercial roofing systems do you install?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in commercial low-slope and flat roofing systems including 60-mil and 80-mil TPO single-ply heat-welded membranes, modified bitumen torch-down systems, built-up roofing (BUR), and fluid-applied elastomeric restoration coatings for warehouses, strip malls, office complexes, and HOA multi-family developments.

Question 7

Do you offer official roof certifications for real estate escrow?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide 2-year and 5-year written roof certifications for real estate transactions, home buyers, sellers, and mortgage lenders. Our diagnostic inspection includes attic inspection, decking checks, and complete exterior photographic reports.
