Two visits a year keeps a Hawaiian Gardens roof covering honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and check the flashings after the soonest heavy storm.

We photograph every elevation on a Hawaiian Gardens job so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. Put simply, moisture readings matter on Hawaiian Gardens low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the trouble in rather than solving it.
