Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Granada Hills tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. Los Angeles County is no different. A proper Granada Hills inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb let go long before the covering does.

Put simply, a Granada Hills estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately. Budgeting a Granada Hills replacement a few years out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a roofing company during a storm. Los Angeles County is no different.
