1The Western Addition Inspection, Step by Step

Put simply, granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Western Addition shingle roof covering, and it shows up years before a ceiling stain does. Valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Western Addition roof covering has been maintained. On most jobs, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Western Addition tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. Core samples settle the argument on a Western Addition low-slope roof when water is suspected but not visible. A Western Addition roof covering is inspected from the attic as well as the roof covering surface; half the evidence is underneath. A proper Western Addition inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb let go long before the covering does.

We work alongside the adjuster on Western Addition claims rather than around them, which keeps the scope honest and the timeline shorter. It is the same story on most Western Addition streets. Deductibles on Western Addition policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case.

2Understanding Your Western Addition Estimate

Budgeting a Western Addition replacement a few years out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a contractor during a storm. It is the same story on most Western Addition streets. The variable line on any Western Addition quote is deck patch, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance. A Western Addition quote that comes in far below the others is usually missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal. A Western Addition estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately. This holds across San Francisco County. As a rule, financing makes sense on a Western Addition roof that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with seasons of life left.

In practice, thermal cycling does the damage in Western Addition — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. Attic ventilation on a Western Addition property is not optional — trapped heat cooks the covering from underneath. Dry offshore winds reach Western Addition through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist.
