Converted garages in Sierra Madre are a common source of leaks given that the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. We see it on Sierra Madre roofs every week. Roof pitch across Sierra Madre varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. A Sierra Madre property often carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. Garage and patio roofs in Sierra Madre are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. The majority of roofs in Sierra Madre fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their service life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later.

As a rule, supplements are normal on Sierra Madre claims once the covering is off and the deck is visible, and they should be raised with evidence rather than argued later. As a rule, a Sierra Madre adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. Denied Sierra Madre claims are frequently reopened successfully when proper documentation is supplied the second time. As a rule, nearly all Sierra Madre claims that let go do so because the deterioration was cleaned up or patched before anyone photographed it.

We work alongside the adjuster on Sierra Madre claims rather than around them, which keeps the scope honest and the timeline shorter.

On most jobs, coatings suit Sierra Madre buildings with a sound deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation.

TPO and modified bitumen both the project on Sierra Madre low-slope roof coverings, and the choice as a rule comes down to detailing rather than the sheet.
