As a rule, second-storey additions in Valley Glen create a junction between old and new roof covering that needs proper flashing rather than sealant. It is the same story on most Valley Glen streets. As a rule, converted garages in Valley Glen are a common source of leaks because the roof covering was never upgraded with the conversion. On most jobs, a Valley Glen property frequently carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. This holds across Los Angeles County. Put simply, housing stock in Valley Glen runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling usually tells you when the building went up. We see it on Valley Glen roofs every week.
Flat and low-slope sections in Valley Glen call for a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. We see it on Valley Glen roofs every week. Underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Valley Glen tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. Architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Valley Glen roof for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer life.
