Thermal cycling does the deterioration in North Hollywood — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. North Hollywood gets its rainfall in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once. Worth knowing before you sign anything. As a rule, roofs in North Hollywood bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing.
