Los Angeles County is no different. Put simply, a permitted Granada Hills re-roof leaves a record that supports any later insurance claim on the same roof. We see it on Granada Hills roofs every week. Full replacements in Granada Hills generally require a permit through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, with an inspection once the work is finished. Structural the project on a Granada Hills roof triggers a separate review beyond the roofing permit itself.
As a rule, most Granada Hills roofs that fail early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. Loose ridge caps on a Granada Hills roof covering are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one after. Los Angeles County is no different. As a rule, checking the attic once past the soonest heavy rainfall in Granada Hills finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage. Los Angeles County is no different.
