That is as true in Glendora as anywhere in Los Angeles County. As a rule, drone access on steep or fragile Glendora roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. We see it on Glendora roofs every week. As a rule, a Glendora inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. In practice, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Glendora roof coverings, since the sheathing frequently fails before the shingle does. Realistically, we check ventilation on every Glendora job, since a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated working life.
Flat and low-slope sections in Glendora need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. It is the same story on most Glendora streets. Realistically, concrete tile suits Glendora buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. In practice, tile is widespread across Glendora, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches owners out.
