On most jobs, disposal is a real line on a Northridge tear-off and belongs in the quote. On most jobs, change orders on a Northridge job should be signed ahead of the the job is done. Phasing a large Northridge roof across seasons frequently beats financing the lot. Access difficulty changes the labour on a Northridge job more than most owners expect.

Moss on the shaded slope of a Northridge roof holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life. Lifted shingle tabs after a Northridge wind event are the start of a progressive failure.

On most jobs, a musty Northridge attic after rain indicates water getting in somewhere above. Repeat stains in the same Northridge ceiling after every storm point to flashing rather than to the field. As a rule, staining on the fascia of a Northridge property usually means the gutters, not the roof covering.

6Material Decisions in Northridge

On most jobs, tile on a Northridge property is a fifty-year material sitting on a twenty-year membrane. Ventilation on a Northridge roof affects covering life as much as the covering itself does. Shingle weight and wind rating matter more on exposed Northridge roofs than colour does. As a rule, reflective coverings lower attic temperature measurably on a Northridge property and ease the cooling load.

As a rule, fastener specification matters on Northridge jobs; the cheap option corrodes seasons ahead of the roof does. A low-slope section on a Northridge property wants a membrane or coating, never shingle laid flatter than it is rated for. As a rule, synthetic slate suits Northridge framing that cannot carry the real thing.
