Q&A
How does Cert-A-Roof's inspection help with common San Diego roof issues like wind damage?
Our comprehensive roof inspection is specifically designed to identify San Diego's common problems. For wind damage, we meticulously check for lifted, damaged, or missing shingles and compromised seals around flashings. We also look for stress cracks in the roof membrane, which can be early signs of failure. Using FAA-registered drone technology, we safely get a detailed, close-up view of the entire roof surface that's often missed from the ground. Our 35 years of local experience means we know exactly what to look for in our coastal climate, and our detailed report will clearly outline any issues found, along with recommended next steps for repair or certification.
What is included in your LeakFREE® Roof Certification, and why is it valuable?
Our LeakFREE® Roof Certification is a thorough evaluation and guarantee. Following a detailed inspection by our NRCIA-certified professionals, we provide a written certification if the roof is found to be in sound condition and free of active leaks. This certification, backed by our 35 years in business, offers tangible peace of mind for homeowners and is a powerful tool in real estate transactions, demonstrating the roof's integrity to buyers and lenders. It's the result of the specialized expertise Les Watrous developed precisely to address the need for reliable roof assessments in the home inspection industry.
If I need a full roof replacement, does Cert-A-Roof handle the installation?
Yes, we provide complete roof replacement services. Operating under our original California General Contractor's License held by The Watrous Group, we manage the entire project. This means the same team that provides your expert inspection and identifies the need for replacement can also execute the high-quality installation. With generations of building knowledge and over 75,000 inspections informing our work, we ensure your new roof or reroofing project is done correctly, from proper material selection to expert craftsmanship, all under one trusted local company.
Business Background
For over 35 years, Cert-A-Roof has been a trusted name in San Diego roofing, founded by Les Watrous. Drawing on a deep family background in homebuilding from Connecticut, Les brought a comprehensive understanding of entire home structures to California. His commitment to quality workmanship led him to establish Cert-A-Roof in 1993, specifically to provide homebuyers and homeowners with reliable roof evaluations. As a NRCIA-certified inspector and a California licensed general contractor (License #388630), Les has completed over 75,000 inspections. His expertise extends beyond the roof itself; after the 1994 earthquake, he became a respected consumer advocate, even authoring a book on property claims. Today, operating under The Watrous Group, Cert-A-Roof combines this generational knowledge with modern technology, offering thorough inspections and the trademarked LeakFREE® Roof Certification to give San Diego residents genuine peace of mind.
