2Understanding Your Tustin Estimate

A Tustin estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately. This holds across Orange County. Square footage is only half the cost of a Tustin roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. A Tustin roof quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a quote based on half the information. Cheap Tustin quotes generally skip the flashing. That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives. That is as true in Tustin as anywhere in Orange County.
