A Sunland roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. Los Angeles County is no different.

It is the same story on most Sunland streets. Many Sunland properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it lets go.

Where Sunland buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next project is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer.

3What Sunland Requires on Paper

Itemised, itemised estimates let Sunland property owners compare bids properly rather than guessing at what is included. Los Angeles County is no different. On most jobs, a Sunland quote that comes in far below the others is generally missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal.

On most jobs, flat and low-slope sections in Sunland need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for.
