4Why Valley Village Roofs Age the Way They Do

Sealant is the soonest casualty in Valley Village; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. A light-coloured covering in Valley Village measurably lowers attic temperature and takes load off the air conditioning. This holds across Los Angeles County. Summer heat is the main ageing force on a Valley Village roof. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months. Debris in Valley Village valleys holds what little water arrives against the covering, which is where rot usually starts. This holds across Los Angeles County.
