1Why Granada Hills Roofs Age the Way They Do
Granada Hills gets its rainfall in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once. This holds across Los Angeles County. Roof surface temperatures in Granada Hills routinely run well above the air reading, and every material on the roof feels it. Sealant is the soonest casualty in Granada Hills; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons.

Dust and grit settle on Granada Hills roof coverings through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains.
Deck replacement on a Granada Hills project is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate.

3What Sits on Most Granada Hills Roofs
As a rule, streets in Granada Hills that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof more often than not brings three more on the same block. Put simply, older Granada Hills buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count is what decides it more than the age when planning the next one.
