Commercial the job in Dana Point usually involves more review than residential and a longer lead time. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
We look over the deck from inside the attic on every Dana Point job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. As a rule, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Dana Point tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. Drone access on steep or fragile Dana Point roof coverings gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. Orange County is no different.
