Why Aster
A Broker Who Tells Roofers the Truth About a Hard Class
Roofing is one of the hardest classes in California — many standard carriers won’t write it, and it shows at renewal. Here’s how we work instead.
Hard-Class Honesty
Roofing GL commonly places in the E&S market and real quotes need loss runs and underwriting time. We say that up front instead of promising miracles.
Benchmark Before Contact Info
The Rate Check computes a market benchmark in the page before any form asks who you are. Contact info comes last, and only for the written copy.
The Stay-Put Rule
If you’re at or under market, we’ll tell you to stay put. Unless service is the problem, switching carriers wouldn’t be worth the underwriting churn.
Renewal-Date Radar
Tell us your renewal month and we’ll send your written benchmark plus a heads-up before your renewal — when moving is actually possible.

How It Works
From Four Taps to an Honest Verdict
The Rate Check is built in the order that respects your time: the number first, your contact info after — and only if you want the written copy.
Step 01
Answer Four Taps

Step 02
See Where You Stand
Your answers build a market benchmark for roofers your size. It is a reference range, never a quote.
Step 03
Get the Honest Verdict
At or under market? We say stay put. Likely over? We say that too, and what a formal quote would take.
Step 04
Take the Written Copy
Leave your details only if you want the benchmark in writing — plus a heads-up before your renewal month.
Know Your Number Before Anyone Knows Your Name.
Four taps, and the honest market picture for a roofer your size — including “stay put” if that’s the truth.
