In inland conditions, composition shingle runs roughly fifteen to twenty-five years, tile underlayment twenty to twenty-five, and coatings seven to fifteen depending on the system.

One to three days on a typical West Hills property, depending on size, pitch and how much deck needs replacing. Nothing is left open overnight.

A full replacement in West Hills is permitted and inspected through LADBS, the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety. Small repairs generally are not, but the layer count and assembly are checked on any permitted job.

Two visits a year: clear valleys and gutters before the rains, then check flashings after the first real storm. In West Hills that matters most because asphalt dries out and sealant pulls back from penetrations years before the field wears through.

Yes. Claims on West Hills properties turn on documentation taken before anything is tarped or cleared, and we work alongside the adjuster rather than around them.
