9What the Weather Does to a West Los Angeles Roof
Summer thermal load is the main ageing force on a West Los Angeles roof covering. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months. Low-slope sections in West Los Angeles hold high temperatures worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here. On most jobs, tile underlayment in West Los Angeles dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street. That is as true in West Los Angeles as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Dry offshore winds reach West Los Angeles through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist. Afternoon sun on a west-facing West Los Angeles slope ages that side seasons ahead of the rest of the roof covering.
A West Los Angeles inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. Core samples settle the argument on a West Los Angeles low-slope roof covering when moisture is suspected but not visible. That is as true in West Los Angeles as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a West Los Angeles tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes.
