1Finding the Problem on a Santa Paula Roof
A proper Santa Paula inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Santa Paula roof coverings, since the sheathing often fails before the shingle does. It is the same story on most Santa Paula streets. We inspect the deck from inside the attic on every Santa Paula work. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. A Santa Paula roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof covering surface; half the evidence is underneath. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Santa Paula tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes.

Ask any Santa Paula roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off.
