4Why North Hollywood Roofs Age the Way They Do
Debris in North Hollywood valleys holds what little moisture arrives against the covering, which is where rot in most cases starts. Roofs in North Hollywood bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. On most jobs, sealant is the earliest casualty in North Hollywood; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons.
