On most jobs, keeping a dated maintenance file on a Westlake Village property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned.

Two visits a year keeps a Westlake Village roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters ahead of the rains, and inspect the flashings following the earliest heavy storm. Flashings at the chimney on an older Westlake Village house usually need attention well before the covering does.

As a rule, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Westlake Village building — blocked outlets cause more harm here than the storms themselves.

6Roof Age Across Westlake Village
