Worth knowing before you sign anything. Fire-zone properties around Westlake Village carry assembly requirements that the permit will look over against. As a rule, codes change, and the Westlake Village building department applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Westlake Village estimate should state the assembly being installed. Permit fees in Westlake Village are a small part of the work and a large part of what protects the owner at resale.
Put simply, a Westlake Village property often carries more than one roof covering type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. As a rule, solar arrays on Westlake Village roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age. Put simply, second-storey additions in Westlake Village create a junction between old and new roof that requires done right flashing rather than sealant. It is the same story on most Westlake Village streets.
