Not all roofing contractors are created equal. At Fox Roofing Company, we’ve taken over jobs where the previous roofer left out key info, cut corners, or simply didn’t tell the homeowner what they really needed to know.

Here are 5 things we hear all the time—that your last roofer probably didn’t mention (but definitely should have).

❌ 1. “Your Underlayment Might Be the Real Problem”

A lot of roofers only look at the surface—tiles or shingles—and ignore the most important part underneath: the underlayment.

In Southern California, underlayment breaks down from:

UV exposure
Heat
Poor ventilation
Old age (especially after 20–25 years under tile)

If your roofer didn’t check it—or even mention it—you may have problems hiding under perfectly good-looking tiles.

⚠️ 2. “Cracked Tiles Can Still Let Water In”

Some contractors tell you, “It’s just a few cracked tiles—no big deal.”
But even small fractures or slipped tiles can:

Let water get under the roof deck
Rot your wood
Lead to mold inside your attic

We never ignore cracked or misaligned tiles. They’re often the first sign of a bigger issue.

💸 3. “Cheap Repairs Today = Bigger Bills Tomorrow”

Many homeowners are sold on low-cost patch jobs that don’t actually fix the root problem. Sure, it buys you time—but it doesn’t solve the issue.

Your last roofer may have skipped:

Proper flashing installation
Replacing aged valley metal
Underlayment upgrades where needed

We’d rather give you the full picture—even if it’s not what you expected—so you don’t spend more later.

📄 4. “You Should’ve Gotten a Photo Report”

You deserve to see what’s going on with your roof.

We hear from clients all the time who say:

“The last company didn’t show me anything. I have no idea what they actually did.”

That’s not how we work. Every Fox Roofing inspection and project includes before, during, and after photos—so you know exactly what was found and how we fixed it.

🦊 5. “We Actually Back Up Our Work”

Some roofers promise warranties they don’t honor—or disappear once the check clears. At Fox Roofing Company, every project is backed by the FOX 5 Guarantee:

✔️ On Time
✔️ On Budget
✔️ No Extra Fees
✔️ FOX Warranty
✔️ Or We Pay You $5,000

We don’t just say it—we stand behind it.
