2How We Inspect a Shadow Hills Roof
A proper Shadow Hills inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long ahead of the covering does. Put simply, we photograph every elevation on a Shadow Hills job so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. On most jobs, infrared scanning on a Shadow Hills commercial roof covering locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. Valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Shadow Hills roof has been maintained. That is as true in Shadow Hills as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
