A South El Monte roof covering quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a quote based on half the information. The variable line on any South El Monte estimate is deck repair, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance. This holds across Los Angeles County.
Infrared scanning on a South El Monte commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. In practice, we look over ventilation on every South El Monte job, given that a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life. That is as true in South El Monte as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older South El Monte roofs, since the sheathing often fails before the shingle does.
