Where North Hills buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Many North Hills properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails. This holds across Los Angeles County.
