Attic ventilation on a Glen Park property is not optional — trapped heat cooks the covering from underneath.
Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Glen Park roof coverings, since the sheathing often fails in advance of the shingle does. Worth knowing before you sign anything. As a rule, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Glen Park tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. We see it on Glen Park roofs every week. Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Glen Park inspection, since that is where most ceiling stains originate.
