Realistically, a Temple City roof quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a quote based on half the information. Los Angeles County is no different.
As a rule, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Temple City roofs, since the sheathing often fails in advance of the shingle does. That is as true in Temple City as anywhere in Los Angeles County. We photograph every elevation on a Temple City job so the documented estimate can be read against what is actually up there. Put simply, a Temple City inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price.
