Santa Monica Clay & Concrete Tile Roofing

Insurance work in Santa Monica turns on documentation taken before anything is touched or tarped. Policies on Santa Monica properties pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two.

A Santa Monica inspection starts at the flashings — chimney, vents, skylights — because they fail long before the field does. Every Santa Monica inspection ends with photographs and a written report rather than a verbal summary and a price.

Composition shingle is the most common covering in Santa Monica and typically runs fifteen to twenty-five years here. Metal suits many Santa Monica roofs for lifespan and reflectivity, provided the fixing system allows for movement.

Tile on a Santa Monica property outlives its underlayment by decades, and the underlayment is the part doing the waterproofing. Composition shingle is the most common covering in Santa Monica and typically runs fifteen to twenty-five years here.

Two visits a year keeps a Santa Monica roof honest: clear valleys and gutters before the rains, check flashings after the first storm. Most Santa Monica roofs that fail early fail at a penetration somebody could have resealed for a few hundred dollars.

Flashing at every penetration is replaced rather than reused on a Santa Monica roof. A typical Santa Monica re-roof runs one to three days depending on size, pitch and how much deck needs replacing.
