That is as true in Valley Village as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
Put simply, synthetic composite has become a credible option in Valley Village where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. In practice, mixing materials across a Valley Village roof covering is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly. That is as true in Valley Village as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Valley Village even where code does not require them. It is the same story on most Valley Village streets.
