FranklyRoof Replacement
Roof replacement, checked line by line before you sign.
A replacement is the largest roofing decision most homeowners make once. Frankly reads the scope — layers, decking, underlayment, flashing, ventilation, permit, disposal — and tells you what the price actually buys. We sell no roofing work.
Every engagement is a flat fee quoted in writing before any work starts. Send your documents to receive the exact fee with no obligation.
Who this is for
- Homeowners holding one or more replacement quotes
- Anyone told a repairable roof must be fully replaced
- Owners choosing between composition shingle, tile lift-and-relay, and full tile replacement
- Sellers and buyers negotiating a roof credit in escrow
Problems it solves
- A lump sum with no square count, no material grade, and no line items
- Decking left unpriced until the roof is open and you have no leverage
- Flashings reused rather than replaced, with nothing in writing either way
- Permit and disposal missing from the cheapest quote and present in the others
What you get
- A written scope comparison you can send to every bidder
- The square count and material system confirmed in plain terms
- Per-sheet decking pricing, flashing replacement, and ventilation flagged if absent
- Tile roofs assessed as lift-and-relay versus full replacement, with the reasoning
- Permit, disposal and warranty terms checked against the price
- An honest verdict when the quote is complete and fairly priced
How it works
A clear, written process.
- 01
Send your quotes
Upload one quote or several, plus roof photos and any inspection report. More documents make the review sharper, but one quote is enough to start.
- 02
We compare scope to condition
Every line is read against the documented condition of your roof and Southern California market norms — no contractor is contacted.
- 03
You get a written summary
Normally within 48 hours: what is included, what is missing, which quote is the better value, and the exact questions to ask.
Frequently asked
- How do I know a full roof replacement is really necessary?
- Widespread material failure, a soft or rotted deck, or a roof at the end of its service life point to replacement. A single leak at a flashing or penetration usually does not. We answer it from your photos, report, and quote rather than from a sales visit.
- What should a roof replacement estimate include?
- The measured square count, how many existing layers are being torn off, the underlayment product and weight, which flashings are replaced rather than reused, ventilation, a per-sheet price for replacement decking, the permit, disposal, and the workmanship warranty terms.
- Is a tile roof always replaced with new tile?
- Often not. Many Southern California tile roofs fail at the underlayment while the tile itself is still serviceable, which makes a lift-and-relay with new underlayment the right scope. We check whether the quote justifies full tile replacement or simply assumes it.
- Can you review more than one replacement quote?
- Yes, and that is usually where the most value sits — the differences between bids are where the real decision lives.
