Skylight seals on Westlake Village roofs want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. It is the same story on most Westlake Village streets. On most jobs, most Westlake Village roofs that fail early give out at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. In practice, loose ridge caps on a Westlake Village roof are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one once past.
Original decking on older Westlake Village homes is more often than not skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. Realistically, older Westlake Village buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one. Worth knowing before you sign anything. A Westlake Village property more often than not carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another.
