9What a San Dimas Inspection Covers
As a rule, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a San Dimas tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes. It is the same story on most San Dimas streets. On most jobs, we inspect ventilation on every San Dimas job, because a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life. That is as true in San Dimas as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Put simply, granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a San Dimas shingle roof, and it shows up seasons ahead of a ceiling stain does. Flashing at the wall junction is checked soonest on any San Dimas inspection, because that is where most ceiling stains originate. Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older San Dimas roof coverings, since the sheathing commonly fails before the shingle does. It is the same story on most San Dimas streets.
Second-storey additions in San Dimas create a junction between old and new roof that needs proper flashing rather than sealant. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Older San Dimas buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count is what decides it more than the age when planning the next one. On most jobs, where San Dimas buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
