9Reading a West Covina Roof by Its Era
As a rule, where West Covina buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next work is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. That is as true in West Covina as anywhere in Los Angeles County. On most jobs, housing stock in West Covina runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof covering. What sits above the ceiling usually tells you when the building went up. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Nearly all roofs in West Covina fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Put simply, roof pitch across West Covina varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. Realistically, a West Covina property more often than not carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another.
Flashings at the chimney on an older West Covina house usually call for attention well before the covering does. That is as true in West Covina as anywhere in Los Angeles County. As a rule, loose ridge caps on a West Covina roof covering are a five-minute fix ahead of the winds and a much larger one after. Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any West Covina building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves.
