As a rule, afternoon sun on a west-facing Woodland Hills slope ages that side years ahead of the rest of the roof covering. As a rule, debris in Woodland Hills valleys holds what little water arrives against the covering, which is where rot generally starts. It is the same story on most Woodland Hills streets.
