If you reside in Agoura Hills, a city in Los Angeles, then you know that there are many things that can take a toll on your roof. In fact, strong storms, wildfires, and heat seem to cause the biggest upset when it comes to keeping the roof of your home healthy and strong.
Let’s take a look at some of your typical climate that affects Agoura Hills roofing.
Did you know that, on average, the rainfall is half of the national average? Here is the cause for so much roof damage: on average, Agoura Hills has over 280 sunny days each year – well over the national average.
The damage to your roof from the sun can easily go unnoticed. Who would consider beautiful weather to be taking a toll on your home? Isn’t that what bad weather is about? It's time to get educated about how your beautiful sunny days are preparing to leave you with a failing roof.
HOW DOES WEATHER AFFECT AGOURA HILLS ROOFING PROJECTS?
Here’s what happens:
For nearly 300 days each year (and even the cloudy days too, believe it or not), the sun is shining down on your home. It is sending its light, its heat, its energy, and its UV rays. How it affects you depends on the type of roof you have, but the overall result is that the integrity of your roof is crumbling. For example, roof tiles are made with oils that allow them the dexterity needed whenever the weather decides to wreak havoc on them. Unfortunately, constant exposure to the sun can dry up this oil, leaving tiles dry and without flexibility. It continues to eat away at their weatherproofing until the tiles eventually weaken and give in to the damage.
Residing in Agoura Hills means that you are likely spending more time enjoying hikes and views at Lady Face Mountain, horseback riding in Old Agoura, or just relaxing while you wine and dine than you are checking the health status of your roof. However, taking a proactive approach to your roof with regular inspections can provide you with greater protection for many years to come.

TILE ROOF REPLACEMENT AND WOOD RESTORATION PROJECT IN AGOURA HILLS
In Agoura Hills for this roofing project, our customer had roof leaks on different areas of the roof for an extended period of time. The previous fix attempts to the roof were never truly fixed. Instead, they were just patched in the leak areas. The wood decking was soaked with water, which created a great nesting ground for termites. Along with the shiplap, plywood, rafter tails, and fascia boards we found termite damage and dry rot. We replaced all damaged plywood, the shiplap, and fascia around the perimeter of the roof, as well as added support to damaged rafter tails.
This is the damaged shiplap seen on the roof when we arrived.
We then installed all new plywood and shiplap after removing the damaged shiplap.
Double layers of 40lb underlayment installed (the average weight of underlayment to add).
We added and installed a metal underlayment to create a waterproof seal on the low pitch roof.
New gutters and downspouts were installed. Along with all the fascia boards which were upgraded to 2”x8”
For this Agoura Hills roofing project, we then primed/treated with spruce and painted with 2 coats of exterior primer.
This is the finished version of this project. Another beautiful roof done by All Climate Roofing!
TILE ROOF LEAK REPAIR
When we arrived, the tile roof had a leak below the chimney due to broken tiles. All the damaged plywood was replaced and double layers of 40lb felt underlayment was used. The original tiles were re-installed. There was a solar pool heater as well that was removed at the owner’s request. double layers of 40lb felt underlayment, re-installed original tiles. This tile roofing in Agoura Hills project was a success!
For this project, the home was suffering from water damaged plywood due to a leak. This is all damaged plywood.
We removed all the damaged plywood and replaced it with new plywood. We will then waterproof to avoid future leaks.
Double layers of 40lb underlayment installed to the entire leak repair section and new vent flashings installed to waterproof it.
40lb underlayment under Z-bar nailed in and secured roof-to-wall flashings around chimney to waterproof. Removed tiles around chimney and all debris.
The existing solar pool heating panels had to be removed. We needed to still waterproof this area. Then we will add new panels after waterproofing is complete.
Mastic was added to the underlayment to waterproof the area where the solar panels were attached. Removed the tar on tiles and used industrial grade caulking to seal tiles.
For the final steps, we installed original tiles and replaced all broken tiles.
NEW SHINGLE COMPOSITION ROOF
This composition shingle roofing in Agoura Hills was due for a roof replacement because the shingles were coming off, along with the flashings being broken apart and the waterproof seals being worn out. We removed all existing shingle and underlayment and added a new 40lb underlayment.
In the valley and chimney area, we used double layers of 40lb underlayment for better waterproofing. We replaced all vent flashings, drip edge, valley metals, and chimney metals. We used industrial-grade caulking to waterproof all the flashings. We installed starters to obtain the manufacturer’s warranty. We used Mountain Ridge on the ridge line to upgrade the manufacturer’s wind warranty. Since the ridge is usually one of the first places to notice a leak or damage by wind on a shingle roof, we always use high-quality Mountain ridge on our shingle roofs. CertainTeed Landmark Painted Desert shingles were installed on the roof.
When roofing in Agoura Hills, this client had an old shingle roof with missing shingles and broken flashings and waterproofing.
