On most jobs, resealing penetrations on a North Hollywood roof every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. Most North Hollywood roofs that fail early give out at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. On most jobs, moss on a shaded North Hollywood slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it.

Realistically, a North Hollywood roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath.
