1How We Inspect a Valley Village Roof

A Valley Village inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. On most jobs, we check the deck from inside the attic on every Valley Village job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. In practice, moisture readings matter on Valley Village low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. That is as true in Valley Village as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Valley Village tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes.

As a rule, housing stock in Valley Village runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling usually tells you when the building went up.

Commercial work in Valley Village usually involves more review than residential and a longer lead time.
