Realistically, afternoon sun on a west-facing North Hills slope ages that side seasons ahead of the rest of the roof. Low-slope sections in North Hills hold heat worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here.
Where North Hills buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next work is a tear-off regardless of what the property owner would prefer. Realistically, original decking on older North Hills homes is commonly skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. It is the same story on most North Hills streets. On most jobs, second-storey additions in North Hills create a junction between old and new roof covering that requires proper flashing rather than sealant.
