Drone access on steep or fragile Tarzana roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. That is as true in Tarzana as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Realistically, a Tarzana inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. On most jobs, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Tarzana roofs, since the sheathing often lets go before the shingle does.
