1What a Tarzana Inspection Covers
As a rule, granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Tarzana shingle roof covering, and it shows up years before a ceiling stain does. It is the same story on most Tarzana streets. Damp readings matter on Tarzana low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. We look over ventilation on every Tarzana work, given that a roof covering that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life. A done right Tarzana inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb give out long before the covering does. We see it on Tarzana roofs every week. Drone access on steep or fragile Tarzana roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. Worth knowing before you sign anything.

That is as true in Tarzana as anywhere in Los Angeles County. On most jobs, second-storey additions in Tarzana create a junction between old and new roof that calls for done right flashing rather than sealant.
On most jobs, debris in Tarzana valleys holds what little moisture arrives against the covering, which is where rot usually starts. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
