On most jobs, attic temperatures in Tarzana drive shingle working life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation matters more here than the brochure suggests. We see it on Tarzana roofs every week. Roofs in Tarzana bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. Dry offshore winds reach Tarzana through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist.
