9The La Canada Flintridge Inspection, Step by Step
Infrared scanning on a La Canada Flintridge commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. In practice, a La Canada Flintridge inspection should end with a documented report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. Realistically, valley condition is the single best indicator of how a La Canada Flintridge roof has been maintained. A proper La Canada Flintridge inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long ahead of the covering does. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a La Canada Flintridge tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes.

Realistically, ask any La Canada Flintridge roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off. On most jobs, a contractor who explains why a La Canada Flintridge roof covering failed is more use than one who only quotes to renew it. On most jobs, look over the CSLB licence number in advance of any La Canada Flintridge contractor starts, and confirm liability cover and workers' compensation are current.
