That is as true in Granada Hills as anywhere in Los Angeles County. As a rule, mixing materials across a Granada Hills roof covering is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly. As a rule, standing seam on a Granada Hills property hides its fixings, which removes the nearly all common leak path on exposed metal. Los Angeles County is no different.
Garage and patio roof coverings in Granada Hills are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. As a rule, older Granada Hills buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count is what decides it more than the age when planning the next one. Additions and conversions are common in Granada Hills, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where nearly all leaks begin.
