Make good makes sense on a Bonsall roof with life left and a localised failure, and nowhere else. This holds across San Diego County.

In practice, infrared scanning on a Bonsall commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. Moisture readings matter on Bonsall low-slope roof coverings. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Bonsall roofs, since the sheathing often fails in advance of the shingle does. A Bonsall roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Bonsall shingle roof, and it shows up years before a ceiling stain does.
