1Choosing a Covering in North Hills
Composition shingle is the most common covering in North Hills and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the earliest to show UV damage. This holds across Los Angeles County. TPO and modified bitumen both the job on North Hills low-slope roofs, and the choice in most cases comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. Flat and low-slope sections in North Hills require a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for.

Sealant is the first casualty in North Hills; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. This holds across Los Angeles County. Debris in North Hills valleys holds what little moisture arrives against the covering, which is where rot in most cases starts.
Nearly all North Hills roofs that fail early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. Checking the attic after the first heavy wet weather in North Hills finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage. That is as true in North Hills as anywhere in Los Angeles County. On most jobs, keeping a dated maintenance file on a North Hills property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned.
3Understanding Your North Hills Estimate
