9What a San Dimas Inspection Covers
In practice, a San Dimas inspection should end with a itemised report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. We check ventilation on every San Dimas job, since a roof covering that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life. Realistically, we inspect the deck from inside the attic on every San Dimas job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. Drone access on steep or fragile San Dimas roof coverings gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. As a rule, a correct San Dimas inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb give out long before the covering does.
Lightweight tile gives San Dimas owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise need. Flat and low-slope sections in San Dimas call for a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. TPO and modified bitumen both the job on San Dimas low-slope roofs, and the choice generally comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. It is the same story on most San Dimas streets.
