As a rule, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Maywood tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. This holds across Los Angeles County. A Maywood inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. We see it on Maywood roofs every week. A proper Maywood inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. On most jobs, flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Maywood inspection, since that is where most ceiling stains originate. As a rule, we look over ventilation on every Maywood project, because a roof covering that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life.
Reroofing over existing layers in Maywood is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection. Permit requirements in Maywood run through the Maywood building department. Minor repairs generally do not need one; a tear-off and replacement does. Realistically, structural the job on a Maywood roof triggers a separate review beyond the roofing permit itself.
