Realistically, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Tujunga roofs, since the sheathing often fails before the shingle does. A proper Tujunga inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. It is the same story on most Tujunga streets. Put simply, a Tujunga roof covering is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. Los Angeles County is no different. Infrared scanning on a Tujunga commercial roof covering locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find.
On most jobs, full replacements in Tujunga generally require a permit through the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, with an inspection once the work is finished. The job in Tujunga is inspected as well as permitted — the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety signs off the finished assembly, not just the application. Fire-zone properties around Tujunga carry assembly requirements that the permit will inspect against.
