Sealant is the first casualty in Westlake Village; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons.

Synthetic composite has become a credible option in Westlake Village where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. Ventura County is no different.

As a rule, the Westlake Village building department handles the paperwork for roofing work in Westlake Village, and a licensed contractor pulls it as part of the job rather than leaving it to the owner. That is as true in Westlake Village as anywhere in Ventura County. Realistically, codes change, and the Westlake Village building department applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Westlake Village written price should state the assembly being fitted. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Realistically, historic districts near Westlake Village may restrict covering type and colour, which is worth confirming before materials are ordered.
