Second-storey additions in Shadow Hills create a junction between old and new roof that needs proper flashing rather than sealant.
Beware the Shadow Hills quote that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition. A contractor who explains why a Shadow Hills roof covering failed is more use than one who only quotes to swap out it. On most jobs, the Shadow Hills contractor who tells you a repair will do, when a repair will do, is the one worth calling back. This holds across Los Angeles County.
