1The Encino Inspection, Step by Step
On most jobs, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Encino roofs, since the sheathing commonly fails before the shingle does. Los Angeles County is no different. On most jobs, valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Encino roof covering has been maintained. We photograph every elevation on a Encino project so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. This holds across Los Angeles County.

On most jobs, encino gets its rain in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once. In practice, attic temperatures in Encino drive shingle working life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation matters more here than the brochure suggests.
