A La Habra inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. Orange County is no different. A done right La Habra inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb let go long in advance of the covering does. Orange County is no different. We check the deck from inside the attic on every La Habra work. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. We look over ventilation on every La Habra job, because a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life.
Put simply, clearing the La Habra gutters in late autumn prevents nearly all of the damage the first storm would otherwise cause. Walking a La Habra tile roof damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone. Loose ridge caps on a La Habra roof are a five-minute fix in advance of the winds and a much larger one after.
