1Roof Age Across Granada Hills
Put simply, many Granada Hills properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails. Realistically, most roof coverings in Granada Hills fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. 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. That is as true in Granada Hills as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Where Granada Hills buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. As a rule, additions and conversions are common in Granada Hills, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where nearly all leaks begin.
