FAQ
Straight Answers to Your Roofing Questions
After three generations on Southern California rooftops, we’ve heard every question there is. Here are
honest answers to the ones we get most. Don’t see yours? Call us — a real person answers, 24 hours a
day.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. 3G Tres Generaciones Roofing Co. is a licensed California roofing contractor — License #1059685.
You can verify our license anytime through the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) website.
We’re happy to provide proof of licensing and insurance with any estimate.
Do you really answer 24 hours a day?
We do. Roof emergencies — storm damage, active leaks — don’t keep business hours, so neither do we.
Call (323) 217-9406 any time, day or night.
How much does a new roof cost in Los Angeles?
It depends on the size of your roof, the material (shingle, tile, flat, or metal), the pitch, and the condition of
what’s underneath. Rather than quote a misleading range, we offer free, no-obligation estimates: we inspect
your roof in person and give you a clear, itemized price. No surprises, no pressure
Do I need a full replacement, or can my roof be repaired?
This is the question where integrity matters most. Many companies push replacements because they’re
more profitable. We’ll tell you the truth: if a repair will genuinely solve your problem, that’s what we’ll
recommend. If your roof is truly at the end of its life, we’ll show you why — with photos.
What roofing materials do you work with?
All of them. Asphalt shingles, clay and concrete tile, flat roof systems (torch-down and TPO), and metal
roofing. Complete knowledge of every roofing system is exactly what’s been passed down through our three
generations — it’s the foundation of our family business.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential re-roofs take 1 to 3 days once work begins, depending on size, material, and how much
tear-off is involved. Tile and metal projects can take longer. We’ll give you a clear timeline with your estimate
and keep you informed every day we’re on site.
How long will my new roof last?
With proper installation and basic maintenance: asphalt shingles typically last 20–30 years, tile roofs 50+
years, flat roof systems 15–25 years, and metal roofs 40–70 years. Installation quality is the single biggest
factor — which is why experience matters.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes — always. We’ll inspect your roof, explain what we find in plain language, and give you a written,
itemized estimate at no cost and with no obligation.
What areas do you serve?
We’re based in Los Angeles (South L.A.) and serve homeowners and businesses throughout Los Angeles
County and Southern California.
How do I know if my roof has a problem?
Watch for: missing, cracked, or curling shingles; broken or slipped tiles; granules collecting in gutters; water
stains on ceilings or walls; sagging areas; and daylight visible in the attic. If you spot any of these — or if
your roof is 15+ years old and hasn’t been inspected — give us a call.
Will you handle my insurance claim for storm damage?
We’ll document the damage thoroughly with photos and a detailed written assessment you can submit to your insurer, and we’re glad to walk your adjuster through our findings on site.
What makes 3G Roofing different from other contractors?
Three generations of roofing expertise in one family — a grandfather who started in the 1970s, a father with
30+ years of mastery, and a licensed third generation carrying it forward. That heritage comes with
something you can’t buy: pride in the family name on every roof we build. Integrity and quality aren’t
marketing words for us; they’re the inheritance.
