About Us

Family Owned, Veteran Owned,

Serving South OC Since 1990

Gotcha Covered Roofing Company has worked on South Orange County roofs since 1990. It started with Robert Sr.'s father, passed to Robert Sr., an Army Airborne Infantry veteran who served during Vietnam, and now runs with his son Robert Jr. involved day to day. Three generations of roofing knowledge going into a fourth, all of it specific to South OC tile, shingle, and flat roofs. The approach hasn't changed since 1990: tell homeowners the truth about what their roof needs, and never push work that isn't necessary.

Why South Orange County Homeowners Choose Gotcha Covered Roofing?

Three generations of South OC roofing knowledge. Clay, concrete, ceramic, and Spanish tile behave differently than they do inland, and coastal salt air changes what actually needs attention. This crew has worked the same tile roofs in this area since 1990.

A straight answer, not a sales pitch. If a roof doesn't need work, Gotcha Covered will say so and leave. That's the same reputation carried since the business started, not a new marketing angle.

Family owned and veteran owned. Robert Sr. served in the Army's Airborne Infantry during Vietnam before building this company with his father's trade. That standard didn't change when he built the business, and it hasn't changed since.

Direct access to the owner. Calls and texts go to Robert Jr. directly, not a dispatch center or a call queue.

Licensed and specialized, not a general contractor moonlighting in roofing. California requires roofing contractors to hold a C-39 license through the Contractors State License Board, and homeowners can verify any contractor's status before hiring.

Tile Roof Repair & Replacement

Clay, concrete, ceramic, Spanish, and slate tile all age differently, and a cracked tile doesn't always mean the roof is failing. Gotcha Covered diagnoses whether the issue is a broken tile, worn underlayment, or a flashing failure before recommending repair or replacement. The Tile Roofing Institute publishes installation and maintenance standards specific to the tile types common in Southern California.

Roof Leak Repair

A leak rarely shows up where the water actually enters. Tile, valley, flashing, and skylight penetrations are the most common failure points on South OC roofs, and finding the real source before patching prevents a repeat call six months later.

Skylight Installation & Repair

Skylights are one of the most common leak points on any roof. Gotcha Covered installs new skylights and repairs failed seals and flashing on existing ones. The National Roofing Contractors Association recommends professional inspection of all roof penetrations, skylights included, during any leak investigation.

Flat Roofs, Coatings & Waterproofing

Built-up (hot tar), torch down, and elastomeric coating systems are common on additions, patios, and older South OC flat-roof sections. Gotcha Covered services and replaces all three.

Full Roof Replacement & Reroofing

Composition shingle, tile, and wood shake roofs each reach end of life differently. Gotcha Covered walks homeowners through what's actually driving a replacement recommendation, whether that's age, storm damage, or underlayment failure, rather than defaulting to the most expensive option.

Commercial Roofing

Gotcha Covered also works with South OC commercial property owners and HOAs on flat, tile, and shingle roof maintenance and replacement.

"Our family got super lucky when Gotcha Covered Roofing was recommended and it turned out better than the good reviews. The professionalism, honesty, and work ethic of the entire staff, from management, office staff, roof installers/workers, and cleanup crew was as good as it gets. My roof looks great and is well built, passing the city inspection easily with the inspector giving it high marks. The whole project was run amicably and smoothly and best of all, competitively priced. Thank you Robert.."

"My experience with Gotcha Covered Roofing was fantastic! Robert was very easy to work with and his constant communication was excellent. Everything happened when he said it was going to happen. His team was professional and I never had a doubt that these guys knew what they were doing. I wish all home improvement contractors were this good."

"Gotcha Covered was a great find! I met with several different roofing companies for a lift and relay for my house. I was very impressed with Robert and his team. They took the time to explain what they were doing and made the process very easy. What set them apart for me was their straight forward manner and obvious care for the quality of their work. I felt they would stand behind their work and I was right. I am so glad that I chose Gotcha Covered for replacing my roof. They did a fantastic job."

Frequently Asked Questions

We understand lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.

How much does tile roof repair cost in San Clemente?

Cost depends on whether the issue is a few broken tiles, failed underlayment beneath intact tile, or flashing damage. A broken tile swap is far less expensive than an underlayment replacement, which is why Gotcha Covered inspects before quoting rather than pricing off a phone description.

How do I know if I need a repair or a full roof replacement?

Isolated leaks, a handful of broken tiles, or damaged flashing usually point to repair. Widespread underlayment failure, a roof at or past its expected lifespan, or repeated leaks in different areas usually point to replacement. Gotcha Covered gives a straight answer either way, and won't recommend replacement if repair will genuinely hold.

Do you work on Spanish tile and clay tile roofs specifically?

Yes. Clay, concrete, ceramic, and Spanish tile are all handled as distinct roof types, not treated the same way, since each has different underlayment lifespans and repair methods.

How long does a full roof replacement take?

Most residential tile or shingle replacements in South Orange County take a few days to a week, depending on roof size, tile availability, and weather. Flat roof sections typically take less time.

Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?

Yes. Gotcha Covered Roofing holds California contractor's license #[NEED FROM ROBERT] and is bonded and insured. License status can be verified directly through the CSLB license lookup tool.

Do you offer free roof inspections?

Yes. Gotcha Covered Roofing provides free roof inspections throughout San Clemente and South Orange County.

What areas of South Orange County do you serve?

San Clemente, Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano, Laguna Niguel, Mission Viejo, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Beach, Ladera Ranch, Rancho Santa Margarita, Coto de Caza, and San Juan Hills.

Can you remove and reinstall solar panels for a roof replacement?

Yes. Gotcha Covered removes and reinstalls existing solar panel systems as part of a reroof. Solar system sales and new installations are not a service offered.
