A Sepulveda roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Sepulveda roofs, since the sheathing often fails ahead of the shingle does. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Put simply, a proper Sepulveda inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long in advance of the covering does.
