Wind and storm damage on a Chatsworth roof covering is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere. Los Angeles County is no different.
Trimming back branches over a Chatsworth roof removes the debris that holds damp against the covering and shortens its life. Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Chatsworth building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. It is the same story on most Chatsworth streets. In practice, loose ridge caps on a Chatsworth roof are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one following. That is as true in Chatsworth as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
