Realistically, reroofing over existing layers in West Hills is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection.

Solar arrays on West Hills roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof covering age. Garage and patio roofs in West Hills are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system.
