On most jobs, a maintenance record on a Shadow Hills roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. Put simply, loose ridge caps on a Shadow Hills roof are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one following. This holds across Los Angeles County. Moss on a shaded Shadow Hills slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. We see it on Shadow Hills roofs every week.
