1What Sits on Most Mission Hills Roofs

Realistically, original decking on older Mission Hills homes is more often than not skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. This holds across Los Angeles County.

Cost on a Mission Hills roof comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath.

3What the Weather Does to a Mission Hills Roof

Attic temperatures in Mission Hills drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation counts more here than the brochure suggests. Tile underlayment in Mission Hills dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street. Sealant is the first casualty in Mission Hills; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. Los Angeles County is no different.
