1What a Temple City Inspection Covers
We check the deck from inside the attic on every Temple City work. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway.

Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Temple City tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. Los Angeles County is no different.

On most jobs, codes change, and the Temple City building department applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Temple City estimate should state the assembly being installed. Reroofing over existing layers in Temple City is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection. This holds across Los Angeles County. On most jobs, solar removal and reset on a Temple City job can need its own electrical permit alongside the roofing one. That is as true in Temple City as anywhere in Los Angeles County.

On most jobs, most roofs in Temple City fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. On most jobs, many Temple City properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails.
Summer heat is the main ageing force on a Temple City roof. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months. Attic ventilation on a Temple City property is not optional — trapped heat cooks the covering from underneath. Dry offshore winds reach Temple City through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
