How does San Diego's climate affect this service?
Central San Diego has aging shingle + built-up flat roofs on 1950s-70s housing — many past 20+ years of service. San Diego work here is often tear-off-to-deck on homes with compromised sheathing from decades of gradual leak history.. We account for local conditions in every job.
What does your inspection cover?
Exterior: every penetration (chimney, vent pipes, skylights), every flashing, valleys, ridge, gutters, fascia, eaves, attic access. Interior: attic visual inspection for staining, mold, daylight through the deck, and ventilation assessment. Report includes photos, condition notes, estimated remaining life, and recommended actions.
How is this different from a home inspector's roof check?
A general home inspector does a visual walk-around and notes major issues. We're on the roof, crawl the attic, use a moisture meter, and document with a written roof-specific report that satisfies insurance and real estate requirements. Different scope, different depth.
