1The Conditions a San Fernando Roof Works Against

Sealant is the earliest casualty in San Fernando; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. Los Angeles County is no different.

Core samples settle the argument on a San Fernando low-slope roof covering when moisture is suspected but not visible. In practice, a proper San Fernando inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long in advance of the covering does.

Realistically, trimming back branches over a San Fernando roof covering removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life. A San Fernando roof covering with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. Moss on a shaded San Fernando slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Keeping a dated maintenance file on a San Fernando property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned.

Deck replacement on a San Fernando job is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate. On most jobs, repair makes sense on a San Fernando roof covering with life left and a localised failure, and nowhere else. On most jobs, financing makes sense on a San Fernando roof covering that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with years of life left.
