7Why West Hollywood Roofs Age the Way They Do

Attic temperatures in West Hollywood drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation matters more here than the brochure suggests. On most jobs, debris in West Hollywood valleys holds what little moisture arrives against the covering, which is where rot generally starts. On most jobs, dry offshore winds reach West Hollywood through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roof coverings are least lapped to resist.
