2What Sits on Most Bell Gardens Roofs

That is as true in Bell Gardens as anywhere in Los Angeles County. On most jobs, converted garages in Bell Gardens are a common source of leaks since the roof was never upgraded with the conversion.

Most roofs in Bell Gardens fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their working life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Older Bell Gardens buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one.

Put simply, we check the deck from inside the attic on every Bell Gardens job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. Valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Bell Gardens roof covering has been maintained. A proper Bell Gardens inspection starts at the flashings, not the field.
