9Preventative Work on La Palma Roofs
Trimming back branches over a La Palma roof covering removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life. Moss on a shaded La Palma slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. It is the same story on most La Palma streets. Keeping a dated maintenance file on a La Palma property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned. Flashings at the chimney on an older La Palma house usually need attention well before the covering does. As a rule, two visits a year keeps a La Palma roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and look over the flashings following the earliest heavy storm. Annual inspection on a La Palma property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service service life.
In practice, a La Palma inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. We check the deck from inside the attic on every La Palma project. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. We see it on La Palma roofs every week. Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older La Palma roofs, since the sheathing often fails in advance of the shingle does.
