Damage recorded before anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one.

As a rule, moisture readings matter on Rolling Hills Estates low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the trouble in rather than solving it. Los Angeles County is no different. We check the deck from inside the attic on every Rolling Hills Estates job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway.
