1How We Inspect a Hidden Hills Roof
Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Hidden Hills tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Hidden Hills roofs, since the sheathing commonly fails before the shingle does. A Hidden Hills roof covering is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. On most jobs, we photograph every elevation on a Hidden Hills project so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. Photographs with dates are part of every Hidden Hills inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. Los Angeles County is no different.
