As a rule, we check the deck from inside the attic on every Reseda project. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. A Reseda inspection should end with a documented report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. It is the same story on most Reseda streets.
9Finding the Problem on a Reseda Roof
Moisture readings matter on Reseda low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. On most jobs, flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Reseda inspection, given that that is where nearly all ceiling stains originate. This holds across Los Angeles County. On most jobs, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Reseda tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes. On most jobs, a Reseda roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof covering surface; half the evidence is underneath. A proper Reseda inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb let go long ahead of the covering does. Core samples settle the argument on a Reseda low-slope roof when moisture is suspected but not visible. Los Angeles County is no different.
Realistically, a Reseda roof quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a quote based on half the information. Square footage is only half the cost of a Reseda roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. Warranty terms affect the real cost of a Reseda roof more than the headline figure does. Los Angeles County is no different.
