Afternoon sun on a west-facing West Hollywood slope ages that side years ahead of the rest of the roof covering. It is the same story on most West Hollywood streets. 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. In practice, sealant is the first casualty in West Hollywood; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. Roofs in West Hollywood bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing.
