SHINGLEROOFING

The Encino version of this job

There is nothing abstract about a Encino roof: whatever fails first on these roofs fails at the edges. We cover Encino from about 16 miles northwest, close enough for emergency calls.

Jobs in Lake Balboa, Sherman Oaks and Tarzana run alongside this one most weeks.

• We photograph every penetration before and after, so the file shows the work.
• Skylights are re-flashed as part of the job rather than quoted as an extra later.
• Tile is sorted and reused where it is sound, which keeps the roof looking original.
• Magnet sweeps run morning and evening, which matters on a street with kids and bare feet.
• We protect landscaping and the pool before a single bundle comes off the truck.

A roof opened in October is a different job from one opened in January. If a repair solves it, we quote the repair instead of selling a replacement.

The parts people ask about

We check the attic as well as the roof; half of what we find shows from underneath.

• Ice-and-water goes in at the valleys and penetrations even though it rarely freezes here.
• Keep the paperwork: it transfers if you sell the house.
• Plants and pool equipment are covered before tear-off begins.
• Drip edge and starter course get installed properly - that is half the wind resistance.

Local conditions in Encino

Roof life in Encino is decided by exposure more than brand, and long hot spells cook the surface and shorten the life of cheap materials. From the yard it is roughly 16 miles northwest to Encino - no travel surcharge, no week-long wait.

Crews rotate through Lake Balboa, Sherman Oaks and Tarzana, so nothing about these streets is new to us.

• We photograph every penetration before and after, so the file shows the work.
• We protect landscaping and the pool before a single bundle comes off the truck.
• Dry-in happens the same day the old roof comes off; nothing sits open overnight.
• Gutters are pulled and refitted where they block a proper drip edge.
• Skylights are flashed new rather than reused, because that is where the next leak starts.

Summer is for planned work; winter is for emergencies nobody planned. Ask for the inspection, keep the report, and decide in your own time.

Details that decide a Encino roof

If the attic has no real intake, we fix that rather than leaving a new roof to bake.

• You get the manufacturer warranty on the materials and ours on the workmanship, both in writing.
• Moisture readings go in the report where a leak is suspected but not obvious.
• You get a start date and a finish date in writing, and we hold them.
• Fascia and rafter tails get checked while the edge is open.
