The small city of Westlake Village is the perfect place to enjoy life with your friends and family. Cool winter months, warm and breezy summer months – breathing in the salty air from the Pacific Ocean rejuvenates your lungs. And, well, these same things you enjoy about life in Westlake Village could also be increasing your need for a Westlake Village roofing company.
Even when the sun is not in full force and you are having the benefits of a breezy day, its UV rays and damaging effects can be felt by your roof. The rays beaming on the roof get hot and it begins to hold the heat in. Over time, the roof tiles begin to dry up, warp, and eventually crumble.
Oils are provided during the production phase as a way to maintain the tiles for as long as possible. This oil keeps them flexible and looking sharp. The length of life these tiles have is based on the climate found in the region they are used. For homes in Westlake Village, not only do the roofs have to handle the sun’s heat and dry atmosphere, but also the salty air. Combined, your roof may be screaming for help.
DO YOU NEED A WESTLAKE VILLAGE ROOFING COMPANY?
What can you do to avoid these issues? Take care of it. Take steps to be proactive and ahead of your roof’s deterioration.
Monitor your roof regularly. If you have a ladder, great. Use it to climb up to your roof – not on your roof as this could cause additional damage – and visually inspect your roof. You are looking for cracks, tears, warped, dissolving, or misaligned tiles. All of these things could signal that there is something deeper going on – and you need to get this addressed by a professional immediately.
Remember – having a healthy roof can give peace of mind to you and your loved ones in Westlake Village.
NEW COMPOSITION SHINGLE ROOF IN WESTLAKE VILLAGE
This cozy home is nestled in Westlake Village. The existing roof is about 30 years old, perfect time for a roof installation or replacement. We replaced damaged plywood, installed new metal flashings, 40lb underlayment and Vista composition shingle “Sienna Blend” from Malarkey.
Westlake Village can be very hot in Summer, this house needs better ventilation for the hot Summer days. We installed 2 Solar attic fans at top roof sections of the roof and 2 O’hagin Static vents at lower parts of the roof. Hot air will rise and be sucked out by the solar attic fans, and cooler air will flow in through the lower O’hagin vents. We strategically located solar fans and vents in parts of the roof to maximize the air flow and cooling effect.
Other updates we have done on this house include installing new fascia boards and 5” seamless gutters around the house.

WESTLAKE VILLAGE TILE ROOF LEAK REPAIR
For this Westlake Village roofing project, the homeowner reported a water leak through a solar tube in their bathroom. After we inspected the roof and attic, we concluded that the real cause of the leak is the clogged tile pan along the stucco wall that is a few feet away from the solar tube.
Because water travels, where the problem happens on top of the roof and where the leak occurs inside the house are often apart. In this case, the leak had happened for a while along with the tile pan, but the customer did not know until the water finally traveled to the solar tube and leak through inside.
We lifted all tiles, removed the existing underlayment, and cleaned the tile pan thoroughly. We installed double layers of 40lb underlayment on the entire repair section. Around the solar tube and all vent flashings, we installed 2 layers under the flashing and 2 layers over the flashing, total of 4 layers of the underlayment.
We also performed roof maintenance on the entire roof. We replaced all the broken tiles, waterproofed all the flashings, and cleaned all valleys and tile pans. If the customer had done regular maintenance in the past, this roof leak would have never happened. This is why we “preach” regular roof maintenance to all our customers.
