Realistically, we photograph every elevation on a Granada Hills work so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. It is the same story on most Granada Hills streets. In practice, a proper Granada Hills inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb give out long before the covering does.
