As a rule, a Mission Hills property frequently carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. It is the same story on most Mission Hills streets. Roof age across Mission Hills 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. Los Angeles County is no different. As a rule, converted garages in Mission Hills are a common source of leaks because the roof was never upgraded with the conversion.
On most jobs, the Mission Hills roofing company who tells you a make good will do, when a make good will do, is the one worth calling back. Beware the Mission Hills quote that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition. It is the same story on most Mission Hills streets. Ask a Mission Hills contractor for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the work from the street.
