Keeping a dated maintenance file on a Chatsworth property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned. Flashings at the chimney on an older Chatsworth house usually call for attention well before the covering does. Los Angeles County is no different.
Tile underlayment in Chatsworth dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street. Roof surface temperatures in Chatsworth routinely run well above the air reading, and every material on the roof feels it. Dust and grit settle on Chatsworth roof coverings through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains.
