Put simply, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Hidden Hills building — blocked outlets cause more harm here than the storms themselves. The majority of Hidden Hills roofs that let go early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. Checking the attic after the first heavy wet weather in Hidden Hills finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage.
Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Hidden Hills tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. We check the deck from inside the attic on every Hidden Hills work. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. A Hidden Hills roof covering is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
