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.
Three questions about your home
Up to three local contractors, and never more.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Huntington Beach 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.
Three steps, about a minute
The whole thing is a form and a routing rule. What happens after it is contractors, on the phone, today.
Tell us about the roof
Three taps. The questions exist so contractors know whether to send a repair tech or a re-roof estimator.
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.
You compare and decide
Three quotes at most. They come out, look at the roof, and give you a number. Nothing obliges you to accept any of them.
Illustrative photographs of roofing work in general. Not photographs of jobs arranged through this site.
Vetted before they hear from you. Licence checked, insurance certificates held, coverage area confirmed.
A quote, not a contract. Nobody turns up with a ladder until you say so.
No mailing lists, no brokers. Only the contractors who are quoting your roof see your details.
No cost to the homeowner. Ever, at any stage. That is the whole arrangement, stated plainly.
What we do, and what we do not
We are the introduction, not the contractor. Lighthouse Roofing Co. of Huntington Beach is a matching service for Huntington Beach and the wider Orange County area. The roofing is done by independent licensed companies who contract with you, not with us.
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 confirm the trades they take on — a tile crew and a flat-roof crew are not the same business.
- They give us a state contractor licence number, which must be current.
- They accept that a request outside their real coverage area is not one they will be sent.
- They provide certificates of general liability and workers compensation insurance.
Treat all of it as a filter, not a guarantee. A licence that was current in March can be suspended by August, and a certificate of insurance is only evidence of the month it was issued. Verify both yourself before anybody starts.
What happens to your information
At most three companies see your details, and they see them because you asked to be quoted. Nothing goes to a data broker, an advertiser, or a list. 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
The contractors pay; you do not. Saying so is not modesty, it is the useful fact: it tells you why this exists and what we are optimising for, which is contractors who close work rather than contractors who pay most.
