A San Dimas inspection should end with a documented report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price.
9Choosing a San Dimas Roofing Contractor
On most jobs, ask any San Dimas roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer ahead of the covering comes off. It is the same story on most San Dimas streets. Realistically, local experience matters in San Dimas because the failure modes here are heat, wind and drainage rather than snow and ice. Put simply, clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the San Dimas contract, not assumed. The San Dimas contractor who tells you a repair will do, when a make good will do, is the one worth calling back. On most jobs, a contractor who explains why a San Dimas roof failed is more use than one who only quotes to replace it. Los Angeles County is no different. Check the CSLB licence number before any San Dimas contractor starts, and confirm liability cover and workers' compensation are current.
Keeping a dated maintenance file on a San Dimas property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned. Realistically, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any San Dimas building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. Clearing the San Dimas gutters in late autumn prevents the majority of of the damage the first storm would otherwise cause.
