We look over the deck from inside the attic on every Laguna Beach job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. A proper Laguna Beach inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long in advance of the covering does. In practice, we check ventilation on every Laguna Beach job, given that a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life.
Nearly all roof coverings in Laguna Beach fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. As a rule, many Laguna Beach properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it gives out. That is as true in Laguna Beach as anywhere in Orange County. Second-storey additions in Laguna Beach create a junction between old and new roof that needs correct flashing rather than sealant. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
