What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Studio City
A lot of our Studio City work arrives with a home sale attached, so the Level 2 report has to be clear enough for a buyer, a seller and two agents to read on a phone. Older homes on the flats often carry chimneys patched after 1994, and the camera shows whether those patches still hold. Hillside lots above Ventura Boulevard catch wind and sun on the upper stack, which is where crowns and top courses fail first. Winter storms then find those cracks, and the report notes any staining in the attic below.
