That is as true in Westlake Village as anywhere in Ventura County. Composition shingle is the nearly all common covering in Westlake Village and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the first to show UV damage. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Westlake Village even where code does not require them. This holds across Ventura County. On most jobs, synthetic composite has become a credible option in Westlake Village where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk.
A roofer who explains why a Westlake Village roof covering failed is more use than one who only quotes to replace it. Two warranties apply on Westlake Village work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. Put simply, ask a Westlake Village roofing company for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the the job from the street.
