Coatings suit Sun Valley buildings with a intact deck and a tired surface — they buy seasons, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. Synthetic composite has become a credible option in Sun Valley where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. Los Angeles County is no different. As a rule, flat and low-slope sections in Sun Valley need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for.
