As a rule, afternoon sun on a west-facing Tarzana slope ages that side years ahead of the rest of the roof. Sealant is the first casualty in Tarzana; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. We see it on Tarzana roofs every week. Realistically, dry offshore winds reach Tarzana through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist. Los Angeles County is no different.
