Sealant is the first casualty in Sun Valley; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons.
Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Sun Valley roofs, since the sheathing commonly fails before the shingle does. That is as true in Sun Valley as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Put simply, drone access on steep or fragile Sun Valley roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. As a rule, we look over the deck from inside the attic on every Sun Valley job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway.
