This holds across Orange County. As a rule, garage and patio roofs in Garden Grove are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. Put simply, additions and conversions are common in Garden Grove, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin.

3Finding the Problem on a Garden Grove Roof

A Garden Grove inspection should end with a documented report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. Worth knowing before you sign anything. A Garden Grove roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof covering surface; half the evidence is underneath.
