We see it on Laguna Woods roofs every week. As a rule, flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Laguna Woods inspection, because that is where the majority of ceiling stains originate. Worth knowing before you sign anything. A proper Laguna Woods inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long in advance of the covering does.
