Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Pico Rivera tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. We check the deck from inside the attic on every Pico Rivera project. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. Put simply, a proper Pico Rivera inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
