As a rule, afternoon sun on a west-facing West Los Angeles slope ages that side years ahead of the rest of the roof covering.
Composition shingle is the most common covering in West Los Angeles and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the first to show UV damage. Metal has grown in West Los Angeles for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Standing seam on a West Los Angeles property hides its fixings, which removes the nearly all common leak path on exposed metal.
