Ridge ventilation on El Cajon jobs is set out at the start so the cut line is right. Photographs are taken at each stage on El Cajon jobs so the owner sees what was covered up. Inspection sign-off closes a permitted El Cajon job; the paperwork goes to the homeowner.

Tear-off on a El Cajon job exposes the deck, and that is the moment to agree any repair rather than after the fact.

In practice, rusted fasteners on a El Cajon roof mean the fixings are failing ahead of the covering. As a rule, lifted shingle tabs after a El Cajon wind event are the start of a progressive failure.

What are the warning signs on a El Cajon roof?
