We check ventilation on every Calabasas work, since a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated working life. Core samples settle the argument on a Calabasas low-slope roof when damp is suspected but not visible. On most jobs, valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Calabasas roof covering has been maintained. In practice, a proper Calabasas inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. Los Angeles County is no different. Flashing at the wall junction is checked earliest on any Calabasas inspection, because that is where most ceiling stains originate. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Calabasas tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes.
Many Calabasas properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it lets go. Put simply, original decking on older Calabasas homes is commonly skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. Where Calabasas buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next work is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. We see it on Calabasas roofs every week.
