Patch makes sense on a Tarzana roof with life left and a localised failure, and nowhere else.

A Tarzana roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath.

We photograph every elevation on a Tarzana job so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there.
