4The La Mirada Inspection, Step by Step
We inspect ventilation on every La Mirada job, because a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life. We see it on La Mirada roofs every week. A done right La Mirada inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb let go long before the covering does. On most jobs, we photograph every elevation on a La Mirada project so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. Water readings matter on La Mirada low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the trouble in rather than solving it. Drone access on steep or fragile La Mirada roof coverings gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it.
Put simply, moss on a shaded La Mirada slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Annual inspection on a La Mirada property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service life.

We work alongside the adjuster on La Mirada claims rather than around them, which keeps the scope honest and the timeline shorter.

Worth knowing before you sign anything. Mixing materials across a La Mirada roof covering is fine provided each section gets the system it calls for and the transitions are flashed properly.
As a rule, check that the La Mirada crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it. Two warranties apply on La Mirada the job: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. Realistically, ask a La Mirada contractor for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the work from the street.
