A Santa Paula roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. It is the same story on most Santa Paula streets. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Santa Paula tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes. We see it on Santa Paula roofs every week. On most jobs, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Santa Paula roof coverings, since the sheathing often lets go before the shingle does. This holds across Ventura County.
