4How We Inspect a Lomita Roof
A proper Lomita inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb give out long in advance of the covering does. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Lomita tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. Drone access on steep or fragile Lomita roof coverings gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. A Lomita inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. It is the same story on most Lomita streets. On most jobs, granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Lomita shingle roof covering, and it shows up seasons in advance of a ceiling stain does.

Second-storey additions in Lomita create a junction between old and new roof that needs proper flashing rather than sealant. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
