Roof covering age across Lancaster clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. Garage and patio roofs in Lancaster are frequently lower slope than the house and call for an entirely different system. On most jobs, multi-unit buildings in Lancaster usually need a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off make good. The majority of roof coverings in Lancaster fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later.
