Tile is widespread across West Hollywood, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches owners out. This holds across Los Angeles County. Silicone coatings hold up well on West Hollywood roof coverings that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. We see it on West Hollywood roofs every week.

The variable line on any West Hollywood estimate is deck repair, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance. On most jobs, a West Hollywood estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately. We see it on West Hollywood roofs every week.
