How this works, end to end
No cleverness, no algorithm worth bragging about. A short form, a routing rule, and a hard cap of three contractors.
Start here
No cost to you. Contractors pay us, you do not.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Irvine and the surrounding area.
- Today, usually within the hour. The first contractor calls or texts the number you gave us. ASAP requests go out first.
- Up to three of them, no more. We cap it at three so you can compare without your phone melting.
- They come and look. Estimates are given after somebody has been on the roof, not over the phone.
- You decide, or you do not. There is nothing to cancel and nothing to pay us.
If you do not hear anything today, check your voicemail and spam folder — contractors often call from a mobile number.
How you get from here to a quote
Nothing to download, nobody to ring, no account to make. You answer the questions and the calls come to you.
Describe the job
Three short questions, all multiple choice. It takes about as long as reading this sentence twice.
It goes to local crews
We route it to roofing companies covering your ZIP — the ones who do this kind of work, not whoever paid the most.
Real numbers, then your call
Contractors contact you directly and quote after seeing the roof. There is no fee and nothing to cancel.
Illustrative photographs of roofing work in general. Not photographs of jobs arranged through this site.
Three, and no more. Enough to compare properly, few enough that your phone stays usable.
No cost to the homeowner. Ever, at any stage. That is the whole arrangement, stated plainly.
Licensed and insured. Checked before a contractor can receive requests.
Fast. Three questions, about a minute, and most requests are picked up the same day.
What we do, and what we do not
Old Mill Roofing Co. is a matching service. We are not a licensed roofing contractor, we do not carry roofing crews, and nobody from this company will ever come to your house. What we do is take your request and hand it to independent roofing companies working in Irvine and the surrounding Orange County area.
Once you pick somebody, we are out of it. The agreement is theirs and yours. We have no leverage over a contractor after the introduction, so do not rely on us having any: check the licence and the insurance yourself.
How contractors get into the network
- They give us a state contractor licence number, which must be current.
- They provide certificates of general liability and workers compensation insurance.
- They confirm the trades they take on — a tile crew and a flat-roof crew are not the same business.
- They accept that a request outside their real coverage area is not one they will be sent.
None of that is a substitute for your own check. Licences lapse, insurance expires, and companies change hands. Look the licence up on your state board before work starts, and ask for a certificate of insurance issued this month.
What happens to your information
Three contractors, and that is the entire distribution. No brokers, no lists, no advertising profiles built out of what you told us. The privacy policy sets out the detail, and the do-not-sell page is there if you would rather we did not share it at all.
Why it is free
Roofing contractors pay us for the introduction. That is the whole business model, and we would rather state it plainly than let you wonder. It also means the incentive runs the right way: a contractor who annoys homeowners does not stay in the network, because the requests stop being worth what they cost.
What is it going to cost?
No cost, no obligation, and never more than three contractors.
