1The Westlake Village Maintenance Year
Keeping a dated maintenance file on a Westlake Village property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned. It is the same story on most Westlake Village streets. Put simply, annual inspection on a Westlake Village property typically adds two to three seasons to the back end of a roof's service working life. On most jobs, clearing the Westlake Village gutters in late autumn prevents most of the damage the first storm would otherwise cause. That is as true in Westlake Village as anywhere in Ventura County. As a rule, a maintenance record on a Westlake Village roof covering also helps at claim time, since it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Westlake Village building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves.

Additions and conversions are common in Westlake Village, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin. Second-storey additions in Westlake Village create a junction between old and new roof that needs done right flashing rather than sealant.
