On most jobs, infrared scanning on a North Hills commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. A proper North Hills inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does.

Financing makes sense on a North Hills roof that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with years of life left. That is as true in North Hills as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Written, itemised estimates let North Hills owners compare bids properly rather than guessing at what is included.
Roof covering pitch across North Hills varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. Converted garages in North Hills are a common source of leaks because the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. Put simply, streets in North Hills that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof commonly brings three more on the same block.
