Realistically, a Valley Village property frequently carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. As a rule, converted garages in Valley Village are a common source of leaks because the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. Los Angeles County is no different. On most jobs, garage and patio roofs in Valley Village are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. We see it on Valley Village roofs every week.
