9Roof Age Across Rolling Hills Estates
Garage and patio roofs in Rolling Hills Estates are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. Additions and conversions are common in Rolling Hills Estates, and the joint between the original roof covering and the newer section is where most leaks begin. Los Angeles County is no different. A Rolling Hills Estates property frequently carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. Roof age across Rolling Hills Estates clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. It is the same story on most Rolling Hills Estates streets. Many Rolling Hills Estates properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails.
Mixing materials across a Rolling Hills Estates roof covering is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly. That is as true in Rolling Hills Estates as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Put simply, flat and low-slope sections in Rolling Hills Estates need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. Put simply, architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Rolling Hills Estates roof covering for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer service life.
