FranklyRoof Replacement Consulting
A full roof replacement is a big decision. Make it with a second opinion.
Tear-off, decking, underlayment, ventilation, flashing, material choice — a replacement has dozens of decisions baked into the estimate. Frankly reviews each one with you before you commit.
Who this is for
- Homeowners considering a full tear-off and re-roof
- Owners comparing asphalt, tile, metal, or cool-roof systems
- Buyers requiring a new roof as part of a sale
- Owners whose insurer is funding all or part of a replacement
Problems it solves
- Replacements quoted before the existing roof was properly inspected
- Hidden scope: decking, vents, or flashing left out of the price
- Material upgrades pushed without explaining the trade-offs
- Warranty language that sounds strong but protects the contractor more than you
What you get
- Independent verification that a full replacement is actually warranted
- A line-by-line read of the proposed scope and materials
- Pricing benchmarked against current Southern California ranges
- Plain-English explanation of warranty and workmanship terms
- A change-order strategy so surprises don't blow the budget
- A written summary you can use during estimate negotiation
How it works
A clear, written process.
- 01
Send the proposal
Share the proposed scope of work, materials list, and pricing. Include photos of the existing roof if you have them.
- 02
We review the full scope
We confirm whether replacement is appropriate, then check materials, layers, decking, ventilation, flashing, disposal, and warranty terms.
- 03
You get a negotiation-ready report
A written summary highlighting what looks fair, what to push back on, and what to add or remove before signing.
Frequently asked
- Is a tear-off always necessary, or can I overlay?
- Local code, existing layers, and decking condition usually decide. We'll review your specific situation rather than apply a rule of thumb.
- How much should a typical residential re-roof cost?
- Southern California ranges vary widely by material, pitch, complexity, and access. We benchmark your specific proposal against current local pricing rather than quote a generic number.
- Can you review a replacement estimate I already signed?
- Yes. If work hasn't started, there's often still room to clarify scope, materials, or change-order terms.
- Do you work with insurance-funded replacements?
- Yes — we can review the insurance scope alongside the contractor's proposal to make sure both line up.
