What Size Company is Yorkshire Roofing of Northern California, Inc.?
We install approximately 8 to 15 roofs per week, making us a medium-sized roofing company. We inspect jobs on a regular basis to ensure each job is progressing smoothly. We are large enough to ensure you get quality service and state-of-the-art equipment and small enough to ensure that a customer doesn't get "lost in the shuffle." We do re-roofing work and repairs on individual homes through to large commercial projects for NYSE-listed companies.
Do You Carry Liability Insurance?
Yes, our policy is with Lloyds of London, which is reliable and will be around if any problems should arise. We have a $1.0M general aggregate coverage and $1.0M each occurrence. Roofers are notorious for either not having liability coverage or having coverage with a company that disappears when claims arise. This is an important issue to protect both you and the contractor. You should get proof of liability insurance before work commences.
Do You Carry Workers Compensation Insurance?
Yes. This ensures if anyone working for Yorkshire Roofing of Northern California, Inc. injures themself, their medical costs and income are paid by the carrier. Neither you nor Yorkshire Roofing of Northern California, Inc., are liable for any damages. You should get proof of this insurance before work commences.
What Do You Do About Lien Notices?
We have excellent credit and no suppliers send preliminary lien notices to our customers. Consequently you do not have to worry about having a lien put on your home.
What About Permits?
We take out permits for every job we do and coordinate with the building departments to ensure inspections are completed on schedule.
What Warranties Do You Give?
We give a standard 5-year warranty against leaks and defects in workmanship on all jobs. (After the first rain or high wind, you will know your roof has been correctly installed.) Because Owens Corning has certified Yorkshire Roofing of Northern California as Platinum Preferred Contractors, our Owens Corning lines — Duration, Duration Premium, Woodcrest and Woodmoor — also come with 10-year and 15-year warranties on our workmanship — not just on their products.
What Types of Roofs Do You Install?
Virtually all roofing materials. Everything from Gerard Steel and Shake, fire treated quality wood shakes, and a full line of Composition shingles. We do both new construction and re-roofing work.
Do You Clean Up The Job Site?
We keep your property tidy on a daily basis and at the end of the job ensure there is no sign of the construction work that was just finished.
Do You Replace All Flashings?
Yes, unless we are requested not to do so. We replace all valley metal and collars around pipes and vents.
Do You Have An Office Secretary?
Our secretary is in the office from 6:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily. We have an answering service available 24 hours a day to take messages when the office is closed. Please stop by and visit our office and warehouse to look at our product line.
What About Gutters?
We recommend gutters on most roofing jobs. Normally when a roof is ready to be replaced, the gutters are nearing the end of their life. It is more cost effective to replace the gutters when the roof is being installed.
What About Skylights?
If you are considering a skylight or SolaTube, the time to have the work done is when re-roofing.
