Where Woodland Hills buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. Roof covering age across Woodland Hills clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few seasons of each other. This holds across Los Angeles County. Older Woodland Hills buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one. It is the same story on most Woodland Hills streets. In practice, solar arrays on Woodland Hills roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof covering age. Additions and conversions are common in Woodland Hills, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin.
