8What a Palos Verdes Estates Inspection Covers
Photographs with dates are part of every Palos Verdes Estates inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. We photograph every elevation on a Palos Verdes Estates project so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. This holds across Los Angeles County. Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Palos Verdes Estates inspection, because that is where most ceiling stains originate. On most jobs, a correct Palos Verdes Estates inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long ahead of the covering does. On most jobs, we look over ventilation on every Palos Verdes Estates work, since a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life.

On most jobs, flat and low-slope sections in Palos Verdes Estates need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. Lightweight tile gives Palos Verdes Estates owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise need. Los Angeles County is no different.
9Housing Stock and Roof Types in Palos Verdes Estates

That is as true in Palos Verdes Estates as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Many Palos Verdes Estates properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it lets go. Roof pitch across Palos Verdes Estates varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. Where Palos Verdes Estates buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next work is a tear-off regardless of what the property owner would prefer. Additions and conversions are common in Palos Verdes Estates, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where the majority of leaks begin.
A Palos Verdes Estates inspection should end with a documented report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price.
