What does the Montebello climate do to a flat roof?
The Montebello climate is warm and dry, sitting inland of the marine layer on most summer days, and heat and UV slowly break down asphalt roofs across its older warehouse stock.
Hillside winds carry dust from open land onto roofs in fall, loading drains before the rain arrives.
How often should a Montebello commercial roof be inspected?
A Montebello commercial roof should be inspected twice a year, spring and fall, and before any sale or refinance of an older warehouse.
Mall and multi-section roofs need a full map of each system, since repairs on one section can be the wrong material for the next. Our commercial roof inspection page explains what each visit covers.
