A roofing company who explains why a Pacoima roof failed is more use than one who only quotes to replace it. We see it on Pacoima roofs every week. On most jobs, the Pacoima roofing company who tells you a repair will do, when a repair will do, is the one worth calling back.

6Maintaining a Pacoima Roof
A Pacoima roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. Moss on a shaded Pacoima slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Flashings at the chimney on an older Pacoima house in most cases need attention well before the covering does. We see it on Pacoima roofs every week.
