9What a Borrego Springs Inspection Covers
Realistically, drone access on steep or fragile Borrego Springs roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. Put simply, infrared scanning on a Borrego Springs commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. We inspect the deck from inside the attic on every Borrego Springs job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. San Diego County is no different. We photograph every elevation on a Borrego Springs job so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Borrego Springs shingle roof, and it shows up years before a ceiling stain does. Valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Borrego Springs roof has been maintained. It is the same story on most Borrego Springs streets.
Put simply, manufacturer certification is what decides it on Borrego Springs jobs because it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. As a rule, documented scope, documented price and a written warranty are the minimum on any Borrego Springs project. This holds across San Diego County. Ask any Borrego Springs roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off. We see it on Borrego Springs roofs every week.
