1Housing Stock and Roof Types in Palos Verdes Estates
On most jobs, second-storey additions in Palos Verdes Estates create a junction between old and new roof that needs correct flashing rather than sealant.

That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives. Material choice changes a Palos Verdes Estates roof budget less than most owners expect; labour and complexity dominate.
