As a rule, written scope, written price and a written warranty are the minimum on any Sunland job. The Sunland contractor who tells you a repair will do, when a make good will do, is the one worth calling back. Local references beat national brand badges on any Sunland roofing decision.
On most jobs, infrared scanning on a Sunland commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. We see it on Sunland roofs every week. In practice, photographs with dates are part of every Sunland inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. It is the same story on most Sunland streets. Realistically, drone access on steep or fragile Sunland roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it.
