Photographs taken before any tarping on a Crest property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim.
3How We Inspect a Crest Roof
A proper Crest inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. Put simply, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Crest roofs, since the sheathing more often than not fails ahead of the shingle does.
