Roofing Consulting

Independent roofing consulting for Southern California homeowners.

Hiring a roofer is one of the largest home decisions most owners ever make. Frankly is the consultant in your corner — answering scope, material, and pricing questions before you sign anything.

Start a reviewAsk a question first

Who this is for

  • Homeowners weighing roof repair vs. full replacement
  • Buyers and sellers who need a clear view of a roof before close
  • Owners juggling two or three roofing bids and not sure which to trust
  • Anyone who feels rushed or pressured by a roofing salesperson

Problems it solves

  • Quotes that read more like sales pitches than scopes of work
  • Wildly different prices for what looks like the same job
  • Confusing material upgrades, "free" add-ons, and warranty fine print
  • No one neutral to call when a contractor pushes back

What you get

  • A written, plain-English read on your roofing situation
  • A clear sense of what your roof actually needs — and what it doesn't
  • Independent perspective from someone with no roof to sell
  • Talking points you can take straight to the contractor
  • Help comparing apples-to-apples across multiple bids
  • Confidence to sign — or to walk away — without second-guessing

How it works

A clear, written process.

  1. 01

    Share what you have

    Send any photos, estimates, scopes of work, or inspection reports. A quick description of what's going on is enough to start.

  2. 02

    We review independently

    We assess your roof condition, the proposed scope, and the numbers against Southern California market norms — typically within 48 hours.

  3. 03

    You get a written summary

    A clear write-up of what looks right, what looks off, and questions to ask. Use it however you like.
