1The Port Hueneme Inspection, Step by Step

A done right Port Hueneme inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. We inspect the deck from inside the attic on every Port Hueneme job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. This holds across Ventura County.
