Put simply, roofs in West Hollywood bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. Dry offshore winds reach West Hollywood through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist. This holds across Los Angeles County.
As a rule, a West Hollywood roof covering with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. It is the same story on most West Hollywood streets. On most jobs, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any West Hollywood building — blocked outlets cause more deterioration here than the storms themselves. Keeping a dated maintenance file on a West Hollywood property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned.
