9How We Inspect a North Hills Roof
A North Hills inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a North Hills shingle roof, and it shows up years in advance of a ceiling stain does. It is the same story on most North Hills streets. A proper North Hills inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. Realistically, a North Hills roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof covering surface; half the evidence is underneath. As a rule, we photograph every elevation on a North Hills project so the itemised estimate can be read against what is actually up there. Put simply, we check the deck from inside the attic on every North Hills project. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway.
Summer heat is the main ageing force on a North Hills roof covering. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day following day, for months. Low-slope sections in North Hills hold heat worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here. Attic temperatures in North Hills drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation is what decides it more here than the brochure suggests.
