That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives. We see it on Studio City roofs every week. On most jobs, square footage is only half the cost of a Studio City roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much.

Two visits a year keeps a Studio City roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and check the flashings following the first heavy storm.

3Studio City Roofing and Your Policy
