Core samples settle the argument on a West Hollywood low-slope roof covering when moisture is suspected but not visible.
In practice, dry offshore winds reach West Hollywood through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roof coverings are least lapped to resist. West Hollywood gets its rain in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once. Afternoon sun on a west-facing West Hollywood slope ages that side years ahead of the rest of the roof.
