9Housing Stock and Roof Types in Canoga Park
As a rule, second-storey additions in Canoga Park create a junction between old and new roof that requires correct flashing rather than sealant. On most jobs, streets in Canoga Park that were built out together tend to require roof coverings together, which is why one re-roof commonly brings three more on the same block. Converted garages in Canoga Park are a common source of leaks because the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Additions and conversions are common in Canoga Park, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where nearly all leaks begin. Original decking on older Canoga Park homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it.
Moss on a shaded Canoga Park slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Loose ridge caps on a Canoga Park roof are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one following. Resealing penetrations on a Canoga Park roof covering every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building.
