On most jobs, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Sun Valley tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. We check the deck from inside the attic on every Sun Valley job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway.
