A Los Alamitos roof covering is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. It is the same story on most Los Alamitos streets. We inspect the deck from inside the attic on every Los Alamitos job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. We photograph every elevation on a Los Alamitos work so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. This holds across Orange County. Photographs with dates are part of every Los Alamitos inspection, since an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster.
Inspect the CSLB licence number before any Los Alamitos roofer starts, and confirm liability cover and workers' compensation are current. Two warranties apply on Los Alamitos work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. It is the same story on most Los Alamitos streets. Written scope, itemised price and a written warranty are the minimum on any Los Alamitos job.
