Checking the attic once past the first heavy wet weather in Westlake Village finds leaks while they are still stains rather than deterioration. Trimming back branches over a Westlake Village roof covering removes the debris that holds water against the covering and shortens its working life.
On most jobs, second-storey additions in Westlake Village create a junction between old and new roof that needs correct flashing rather than sealant. Streets in Westlake Village that were built out together tend to need roof coverings together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Put simply, older Westlake Village buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count counts more than the age when planning the next one.
