We photograph every elevation on a Gardena job so the itemised estimate can be read against what is actually up there. Realistically, a proper Gardena inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. A Gardena roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath.
