3How We Inspect a Signal Hill Roof
On most jobs, photographs with dates are part of every Signal Hill inspection, given that an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. Put simply, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Signal Hill tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes.

As a rule, written, itemised estimates let Signal Hill property owners compare bids properly rather than guessing at what is included.

Where Signal Hill buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the property owner would prefer.
