Local Business Overview

Cert-A-Roof was founded in Orange, CA, by Les Watrous, a third-generation builder from a family of Connecticut craftsmen. After moving to California in 1978, Les leveraged his comprehensive knowledge of home construction—from foundation to finish—to become a sought-after contractor. He established Cert-A-Roof in 1993 with a clear mission: to provide homebuyers with a definitive understanding of their roof's condition, pioneering the now-trademarked LeakFREE® Roof Certification. This focus grew from seeing a need in the home inspection industry following the 1994 Northridge earthquake, where Les also became a consumer advocate, even authoring a book on insurance claims. For over 35 years under the same contractor's license, Cert-A-Roof has blended this deep construction heritage with modern techniques, like drone inspections, to offer thorough, photo-documented reports and reliable certifications for Southern California homeowners.

Question Answers

What makes a Cert-A-Roof inspection different for my Orange County home?

Our inspections are conducted by NRCIA-certified inspectors who combine over 35 years of local construction knowledge with advanced methods like drone technology. We provide a detailed, photo-centric report within 24 hours, focusing on the specific wear patterns common in our climate, such as shingle curling from sun exposure or wind damage. The goal is a clear assessment that can support a 2-Year LeakFREE® Roof Certification, giving you and potential buyers documented peace of mind.

If I need a roof replacement, does Cert-A-Roof handle the full project?

Yes, we provide complete roofing services. With founder Les Watrous holding an active California General Contractor's license for over four decades, we manage everything from the initial inspection and certification to the final installation of a new roof, repair, or reroofing. Our background in whole-house construction and rebuilding after the 1994 earthquake means we understand how the roof integrates with the entire structure, ensuring the work is done correctly and durably for your Orange home.

How do you handle common local issues like wind damage or curled shingles?

For wind damage, our inspections meticulously check for lifted shingles, compromised seals, and missing granules—issues that can lead to leaks if not addressed. For the curling and brittleness caused by our intense sun, we assess the overall lifespan and integrity of the roofing material. In both cases, our detailed report will clearly outline whether a repair is sufficient or if a section or full replacement is recommended to protect your home, all backed by our extensive local experience.
