The majority of roofs in Glen Park fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. It is the same story on most Glen Park streets. On most jobs, roof pitch across Glen Park varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. On most jobs, solar arrays on Glen Park roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age.
Most Glen Park roofs that give out early give out at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. Trimming back branches over a Glen Park roof covering removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life. Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Glen Park building — blocked outlets cause more deterioration here than the storms themselves.
