Matching provisions in a policy matter on Bellflower tile roofs where the original profile is discontinued. This holds across Los Angeles County.
Walking a Bellflower tile roof damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone. A maintenance record on a Bellflower roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. On most jobs, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Bellflower building — blocked outlets cause more harm here than the storms themselves. That is as true in Bellflower as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
