We photograph every elevation on a Calabasas job so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Calabasas roof coverings, since the sheathing often fails before the shingle does.
As a rule, the permit record for a Calabasas property is public, which is how a buyer's inspector checks the roof covering was done properly. the Calabasas building department handles the paperwork for roofing the project in Calabasas, and a licensed contractor pulls it as part of the job rather than leaving it to the owner. Inspection scheduling in Calabasas adds a day or two to the programme and should be in the contractor's timeline from the start.
