On most jobs, reclaimed tile can be matched on Woodland Hills heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Woodland Hills roof for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer life. This holds across Los Angeles County.
Additions and conversions are common in Woodland Hills, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where the majority of leaks begin. Roof covering pitch across Woodland Hills varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. This holds across Los Angeles County. A Woodland Hills property often carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another.
