Roof coverings in Westlake Village bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing.
Keeping a dated maintenance file on a Westlake Village property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned. Annual inspection on a Westlake Village property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service life. On most jobs, moss on a shaded Westlake Village slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. This holds across Ventura County.
