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.
Or call (949) 749-0469Your request is in.
We are matching it now against roofing contractors working in Lake Forest 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 it works
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.
Matched to nearby contractors
Independent local companies, chosen on where they work and what they specialise in. Emergencies go out first.
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.
No mailing lists, no brokers. Only the contractors who are quoting your roof see your details.
Three, and no more. Enough to compare properly, few enough that your phone stays usable.
Vetted before they hear from you. Licence checked, insurance certificates held, coverage area confirmed.
What we do, and what we do not
We are the introduction, not the contractor. Foundry Roofing Contractors — Lake Forest is a matching service for Lake Forest and the wider Orange County area. The roofing is done by independent licensed companies who contract with you, not with us.
The contract, the work, the warranty and the liability all sit between you and the contractor you choose. We are not a party to it, we take no share of the job, and we cannot make anybody honour anything. That is why the checks below matter and why we tell you to do a couple of them yourself.
How contractors get into the network
- 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.
- 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.
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.
Start with the roof
No cost, no obligation, and never more than three contractors.
