Valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Pico Rivera roof covering has been maintained. On most jobs, infrared scanning on a Pico Rivera commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. We photograph every elevation on a Pico Rivera job so the documented estimate can be read against what is actually up there.
