It is the same story on most Woodland Hills streets. Standing seam on a Woodland Hills property hides its fixings, which removes the most common leak path on exposed metal.
As a rule, additions and conversions are common in Woodland Hills, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin. Multi-unit buildings in Woodland Hills generally require a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off repair. Second-storey additions in Woodland Hills create a junction between old and new roof that calls for done right flashing rather than sealant.
