First, we perform a thorough visual inspection of the skylight flashing, seals, and the surrounding shingles from both the exterior and, when safe, the attic. In Simi Valley, temperature fluctuations can cause materials to expand and contract, leading to seal failures. We look for cracked caulking, compromised flashing, and any water staining to pinpoint the exact entry point before recommending a targeted, lasting repair.

Not always, but it's a serious warning sign common in our Simi Valley sun. Curling often indicates the shingles are nearing the end of their lifespan due to heat and UV exposure. We assess the extent of the curling, check for granule loss, and inspect the underlying decking. Sometimes, isolated repairs can buy time, but widespread curling usually means the roof's protective ability is compromised, and we'll discuss replacement options to prevent interior damage.

We recommend bi-annual professional inspections, ideally in late spring and early fall. We'll check sealants around penetrations like skylights, clear debris from valleys and gutters to prevent water backup, and look for early signs of shingle wear. Keeping your attic properly ventilated is also crucial here to reduce heat buildup that accelerates shingle aging. These simple, proactive steps can extend your roof's life and help catch small issues before they become major leaks.
