Original decking on older North Hills homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. Additions and conversions are common in North Hills, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin. Multi-unit buildings in North Hills usually require a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off repair.
