In practice, roof age across Encino clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. That is as true in Encino as anywhere in Los Angeles County. In practice, streets in Encino that were built out together tend to call for roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. Additions and conversions are common in Encino, and the joint between the original roof covering and the newer section is where most leaks begin.
