Keeping a dated maintenance file on a Los Alamitos property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned. Resealing penetrations on a Los Alamitos roof every few seasons is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. On most jobs, nearly all Los Alamitos roofs that fail early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars.
On most jobs, summer heat is the main ageing force on a Los Alamitos roof covering. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months. Put simply, thermal cycling does the deterioration in Los Alamitos — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Put simply, roof coverings in Los Alamitos bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing.
