As a rule, garage and patio roofs in Sun Valley are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. We see it on Sun Valley roofs every week. Streets in Sun Valley that were built out together tend to call for roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. Los Angeles County is no different.

Where Sun Valley buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next work is a tear-off regardless of what the homeowner would prefer. We see it on Sun Valley roofs every week. Older Sun Valley buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count is what decides it more than the age when planning the next one.

A contractor who explains why a Sun Valley roof failed is more use than one who only quotes to replace it. Two warranties apply on Sun Valley work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both.

Where Sun Valley buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the property owner would prefer. Most roofs in Sun Valley fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later.
5Choosing a Covering in Sun Valley
TPO and modified bitumen both work on Sun Valley low-slope roofs, and the choice in most cases comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. We see it on Sun Valley roofs every week.
