A permitted Bellflower re-roof leaves a record that supports any later insurance claim on the same roof covering. Codes change, and the Bellflower building department applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Bellflower estimate should state the assembly being installed.
A Bellflower inspection should end with a itemised report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. Realistically, infrared scanning on a Bellflower commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. We check the deck from inside the attic on every Bellflower job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. This holds across Los Angeles County.
