FranklyRoof Repair Consulting
Repair, restore, or replace? Get an honest answer before you spend.
A roofer who only sells full replacements will usually recommend a full replacement. Frankly looks at the same roof and tells you what an honest repair would actually require — and what it should cost.
Who this is for
- Homeowners with a stubborn or recurring roof leak
- Owners told they need a full replacement when a repair might do
- Anyone with two repair quotes that don't agree on the problem
- Long-time owners trying to extend a roof's remaining life
Problems it solves
- Leaks that keep returning after multiple "fixes"
- Repair quotes that vary by thousands of dollars for the same area
- Pressure to replace a roof that may still have years left
- Unclear cause: flashing, underlayment, ventilation, or something else?
What you get
- A neutral diagnosis of the likely leak source or repair need
- A clear repair-vs-replace recommendation backed by reasoning
- Benchmark pricing for the proposed repair scope
- A read on prior repair attempts and whether they were appropriate
- Specific questions to ask the next roofer who walks the roof
- Documentation you can keep with your home records
How it works
A clear, written process.
- 01
Describe the problem
Send photos of the affected area inside and out, any past invoices, and a short description of when the issue started.
- 02
We evaluate independently
Working from photos, drone imagery, or an on-site visit, we narrow down likely causes and review any repair quotes you've received.
- 03
You get a written plan
A clear summary of the most likely root cause, a reasonable repair scope, and a price range for the work.
Frequently asked
- Can you diagnose a leak from photos alone?
- Often, yes — many residential roof leaks have a short list of likely causes. When photos aren't enough, we'll say so and recommend a site visit.
- Will you recommend a contractor?
- We don't maintain a referral list, because we don't take referral fees. We can tell you what to look for and what questions to ask when you interview repair contractors.
- What if the repair turns into a replacement?
- If our review shows the roof truly needs replacement, we'll say so plainly — and the same independent process applies.
- Do you serve my area?
- We work with homeowners across Southern California, including Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Ventura counties.
