A light-coloured covering in Placentia measurably lowers attic temperature and takes load off the air conditioning. This holds across Orange County. Sealant is the first casualty in Placentia; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. Orange County is no different. Placentia gets its rain in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once.
9The Placentia Inspection, Step by Step
As a rule, we photograph every elevation on a Placentia job so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Placentia shingle roof, and it shows up years before a ceiling stain does. Orange County is no different. Infrared scanning on a Placentia commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. A Placentia inspection should end with a documented report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. As a rule, a proper Placentia inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb let go long before the covering does. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
Afternoon sun on a west-facing Placentia slope ages that side seasons ahead of the rest of the roof. Expansion and contraction loosens fixings on Placentia roofs long in advance of the material itself gives out. Tile underlayment in Placentia dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street.
