Debris in Westlake Village valleys holds what little water arrives against the covering, which is where rot usually starts. Dust and grit settle on Westlake Village roof coverings through the dry months and wash into the drainage the earliest time it rains. This holds across Ventura County. Dry offshore winds reach Westlake Village through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist. In practice, thermal cycling does the damage in Westlake Village — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. We see it on Westlake Village roofs every week.
As a rule, most roof coverings in Westlake Village fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their service life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Second-storey additions in Westlake Village create a junction between old and new roof that requires proper flashing rather than sealant. As a rule, solar arrays on Westlake Village roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age.
