Infrared scanning on a San Dimas commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. On most jobs, core samples settle the argument on a San Dimas low-slope roof when moisture is suspected but not visible. That is as true in San Dimas as anywhere in Los Angeles County. A proper San Dimas inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. This holds across Los Angeles County.
9How We Inspect a San Dimas Roof
A correct San Dimas inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb let go long before the covering does. That is as true in San Dimas as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a San Dimas shingle roof, and it shows up years before a ceiling stain does. Put simply, we photograph every elevation on a San Dimas work so the documented estimate can be read against what is actually up there. A San Dimas roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof covering surface; half the evidence is underneath. Put simply, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a San Dimas tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. Put simply, valley condition is the single best indicator of how a San Dimas roof has been maintained.
Realistically, a permitted San Dimas re-roof leaves a record that supports any later insurance claim on the same roof. Worth knowing before you sign anything. In practice, inspection scheduling in San Dimas adds a day or two to the programme and should be in the contractor's timeline from the start. In practice, historic districts near San Dimas may restrict covering type and colour, which is worth confirming before materials are ordered.
