On most jobs, a West Covina property frequently carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. That is as true in West Covina as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Additions and conversions are common in West Covina, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where nearly all leaks begin. Streets in West Covina that were built out together tend to call for roof coverings together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. On most jobs, many West Covina properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails.
Clearing the West Covina gutters in late autumn prevents most of the damage the soonest storm would otherwise cause. This holds across Los Angeles County. Two visits a year keeps a West Covina roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and check the flashings after the first heavy storm. Loose ridge caps on a West Covina roof covering are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one after.
