Work in San Fernando is inspected as well as permitted — the San Fernando building department signs off the finished assembly, not just the application.
Put simply, granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a San Fernando shingle roof, and it shows up seasons before a ceiling stain does. Valley condition is the single best indicator of how a San Fernando roof covering has been maintained. Los Angeles County is no different. Infrared scanning on a San Fernando commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find.
