9Housing Stock and Roof Types in Westlake Village
Original decking on older Westlake Village homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. Roof age across Westlake Village clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. It is the same story on most Westlake Village streets. Solar arrays on Westlake Village roof coverings complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age. Garage and patio roof coverings in Westlake Village are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. In practice, additions and conversions are common in Westlake Village, and the joint between the original roof covering and the newer section is where nearly all leaks begin. Realistically, older Westlake Village buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one.
Inspect that the Westlake Village crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Check the CSLB licence number before any Westlake Village contractor starts, and confirm liability cover and workers' compensation are current. Ventura County is no different. Realistically, beware the Westlake Village quote that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition.
