Additions and conversions are common in Granada Hills, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where the majority of leaks begin. We see it on Granada Hills roofs every week. In practice, a Granada Hills property often carries more than one roof covering type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another.
