Put simply, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Pico Rivera roofs, since the sheathing frequently lets go before the shingle does. Valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Pico Rivera roof covering has been maintained. In practice, a Pico Rivera inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. We see it on Pico Rivera roofs every week.
