Ask a Chatsworth contractor for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the the job from the street. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Beware the Chatsworth estimate that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition. Los Angeles County is no different.
Put simply, photographs with dates are part of every Chatsworth inspection, since an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. Realistically, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Chatsworth roofs, since the sheathing frequently fails before the shingle does. Core samples settle the argument on a Chatsworth low-slope roof covering when damp is suspected but not visible. We see it on Chatsworth roofs every week.
