Put simply, concrete tile suits Hidden Meadows buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first.

9The Hidden Meadows Inspection, Step by Step

A Hidden Meadows inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Photographs with dates are part of every Hidden Meadows inspection, given that an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. It is the same story on most Hidden Meadows streets. In practice, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Hidden Meadows roofs, since the sheathing frequently lets go ahead of the shingle does. Put simply, flashing at the wall junction is checked soonest on any Hidden Meadows inspection, because that is where nearly all ceiling stains originate. Put simply, a correct Hidden Meadows inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. We look over the deck from inside the attic on every Hidden Meadows work. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway.

Keeping a dated maintenance file on a Hidden Meadows property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned. On most jobs, flashings at the chimney on an older Hidden Meadows house usually need attention well before the covering does. We see it on Hidden Meadows roofs every week. Clearing the Hidden Meadows gutters in late autumn prevents most of the damage the first storm would otherwise cause. San Diego County is no different.
