Drone access on steep or fragile Tarzana roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. On most jobs, photographs with dates are part of every Tarzana inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. We see it on Tarzana roofs every week.
On most jobs, architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Tarzana roof covering for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer working life. Flat and low-slope sections in Tarzana need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. Cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Tarzana even where code does not require them.
