A Westlake Village property often carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. Original decking on older Westlake Village homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. This holds across Ventura County. Nearly all roofs in Westlake Village fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. It is the same story on most Westlake Village streets. Streets in Westlake Village that were built out together tend to call for roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. In practice, solar arrays on Westlake Village roof coverings complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age.
Ask any Westlake Village roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off. Put simply, the Westlake Village roofing company who tells you a repair will do, when a repair will do, is the one worth calling back. A contractor who explains why a Westlake Village roof covering failed is more use than one who only quotes to replace it.
