Placentia Commercial Roofing

Two warranties apply on Placentia work — the manufacturer's on material and the installer's on workmanship. Check the licence, liability cover and workers' compensation before any Placentia contractor starts work.

We inspect roofs in Placentia free of charge and put the findings in writing before any price is discussed. Emergency work in Placentia costs more than planned work, for the obvious reason that nobody chose the timing.

Tile on a Placentia property outlives its underlayment by decades, and the underlayment is the part doing the waterproofing. Metal suits many Placentia roofs for lifespan and reflectivity, provided the fixing system allows for movement.

Supplements are normal once a Placentia roof is opened up, and they should be raised with evidence attached. Most Placentia claims that fail do so because the damage was patched or cleared before anyone photographed it.

Most Placentia roofs that fail early fail at a penetration somebody could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. A dated maintenance record on a Placentia roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden.

Tile on a Placentia property outlives its underlayment by decades, and the underlayment is the part doing the waterproofing. Low-slope sections on Placentia buildings need a membrane or coating system rather than shingle laid flatter than it is rated for.

Final clean-up on a Placentia property includes a magnetic sweep for nails before the crew leaves. Nothing is left open overnight on a Placentia job — the deck is dried in the same day it is exposed.

On a Placentia tile roof we lift field tiles in two or three places to date the underlayment, which takes about fifteen minutes. A Placentia inspection starts at the flashings — chimney, vents, skylights — because they fail long before the field does.
