Additions and conversions are common in Hidden Hills, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin. This holds across Los Angeles County. On most jobs, streets in Hidden Hills that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. That is as true in Hidden Hills as anywhere in Los Angeles County. A Hidden Hills property often carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another.
