What Our Roofing Crew Looks for That Other Contractors Miss
There are a lot of roofing companies in Orange County—but not all roofers are created equal.
At Fox Roofing Company, we’ve been called in more times than we can count to fix jobs that should’ve been done right the first time. In nearly every case, it came down to this:
👉 The other contractor didn’t know what to look for—or didn’t care.
Here’s a look at what sets our crew apart—and what we catch that others often overlook.
🔍 1. Underlayment Condition (Even on “Newer” Roofs)
Most roofers don’t lift tiles or shingles during an inspection. We do.
Why? Because underlayment is the real waterproof barrier, and we’ve found:
Torn or improperly overlapped underlayment
Underlayment that’s too thin for SoCal sun
Water trapped beneath tiles that’s rotting decking below
If the underlayment is failing, a “quick fix” won’t cut it—and we’ll show you why.
🧱 2. Cracked Flashing & Seals Around Penetrations
Flashings protect your roof where it’s most vulnerable—around skylights, chimneys, pipes, and vents.
But many contractors skip close-up checks.
Our crew looks for:
Rusted or warped flashing
Dried-out or cracking sealant
Gaps that let in wind-driven rain
It’s one of the top causes of slow leaks—and we catch it before it becomes a soaked ceiling.
🌬️ 3. Attic Ventilation & Heat Stress
Most roofers never step into your attic. We do—because heat and moisture from inside can destroy a roof just as fast as weather from outside.
We check:
Intake and exhaust ventilation
Signs of condensation or mold
Overheating that may shorten roof lifespan
Proper airflow can add years to your roof—and cut cooling bills all summer.
⚠️ 4. Previous Shoddy Repairs
We’ve seen it all:
“Fixed” tiles laid without flashing
Spray foam hiding holes
Staples where nails should be
Sloppy patch jobs with mismatched materials
Our inspections uncover these shortcuts—and we give you a photo report with honest recommendations, not upsells.
