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
About a minute. Nothing is charged and nothing is booked.
Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Seal 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.
What happens after you tap send
Nothing to download, nobody to ring, no account to make. You answer the questions and the calls come to you.
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.
Up to three quote you
A maximum of three contractors get in touch. They inspect, they price, you compare. Hire one or none.
Illustrative photographs of roofing work in general. Not photographs of jobs arranged through this site.
It costs you nothing. The contractors pay for the introduction. There is no bill at any point.
Licence and cover on file. A current state licence number and insurance certificates, before any request reaches them.
Nothing is booked. You are agreeing to be quoted, not to have work done.
Up to three contractors — a hard cap, not a guideline.
What we do, and what we do not
We are the introduction, not the contractor. Old Mill Exteriors of Seal Beach is a matching service for Seal Beach and the wider Orange County area. The roofing is done by independent licensed companies who contract with you, not with us.
Everything that matters afterwards — price, schedule, workmanship, warranty, liability — is between you and the company you hire. We do not sign it, do not take a percentage of it, and cannot enforce it. Which is exactly why the verification steps below are worth your ten minutes.
How contractors get into the network
- They agree to the three-contractor cap and to contacting you only about the request you submitted.
- They tell us which ZIP codes they genuinely cover, and what kind of roofing they actually do.
- They confirm the trades they take on — a tile crew and a flat-roof crew are not the same business.
- 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
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.
