A Valley Glen roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. That is as true in Valley Glen as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Core samples settle the argument on a Valley Glen low-slope roof covering when moisture is suspected but not visible. Los Angeles County is no different. On most jobs, a Valley Glen inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price.
