Photographs with dates are part of every Covina inspection, since an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. As a rule, we photograph every elevation on a Covina work so the documented estimate can be read against what is actually up there. As a rule, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Covina roofs, since the sheathing frequently gives out in advance of the shingle does. This holds across Los Angeles County.
Put simply, thermal cycling does the damage in Covina — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. That is as true in Covina as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Afternoon sun on a west-facing Covina slope ages that side years ahead of the rest of the roof covering. Tile underlayment in Covina dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street.
