Worth knowing before you sign anything. Skylight seals on Chula Vista roofs want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. It is the same story on most Chula Vista streets. On most jobs, checking the attic following the first heavy rainfall in Chula Vista finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage.
On most jobs, core samples settle the argument on a Chula Vista low-slope roof when moisture is suspected but not visible. We check the deck from inside the attic on every Chula Vista job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. A Chula Vista inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price.
