Put simply, keeping a dated maintenance file on a Granada Hills property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned. As a rule, resealing penetrations on a Granada Hills roof every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. Realistically, moss on a shaded Granada Hills slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. This holds across Los Angeles County. The majority of Granada Hills roof coverings that fail early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars.
Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Granada Hills inspection, because that is where most ceiling stains originate. It is the same story on most Granada Hills streets. A proper Granada Hills inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. Valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Granada Hills roof has been maintained.
