In practice, second-storey additions in Hermosa Beach create a junction between old and new roof that requires proper flashing rather than sealant. Los Angeles County is no different. Original decking on older Hermosa Beach homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it.
Put simply, photographs with dates are part of every Hermosa Beach inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. It is the same story on most Hermosa Beach streets. A Hermosa Beach inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. On most jobs, a Hermosa Beach roof covering is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. This holds across Los Angeles County.
