3The Santa Clarita Inspection, Step by Step
On most jobs, a Santa Clarita roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof covering surface; half the evidence is underneath. A Santa Clarita inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. That is as true in Santa Clarita as anywhere in Los Angeles County. We photograph every elevation on a Santa Clarita job so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there.
