SHINGLEROOFING

A closer look at Toluca Lake

Ask any crew that works Los Angeles County and they will tell you the same thing - the flat light hides damage until a storm finds it. Being 9 miles northwest of Toluca Lake, we can be on the roof before the next rain band arrives.

We are in Studio City, Valley Village and North Hollywood constantly, and the housing stock is much the same.

• Chimney and wall flashings are replaced, not painted over with sealant.
• Magnet sweeps run morning and evening, which matters on a street with kids and bare feet.
• We photograph every penetration before and after, so the file shows the work.
• We work around tenants and business hours where the building is occupied.
• Skylights are flashed new rather than reused, because that is where the next leak starts.

Leaks found in summer cost a fraction of the same leak found in February. Everything starts with a free inspection and a written number for your Toluca Lake property.

What separates a good job from a cheap one

Fascia and rafter tails get checked while the edge is open.

• Intake and exhaust are balanced on the same visit - a sealed attic cooks a new roof early.
• Weather delays are called early rather than left to surprise you.
• Change orders are discussed before anything is done, not billed afterwards.
• We do not ask for large deposits before material is delivered.

Local notes for Toluca Lake

Ask ten Toluca Lake owners about their roof and you get the same complaints: the same three details cause most of the leaks we are called out for. The shop is about 9 miles northwest, which is why we can be out the same day.

We work the same streets in Studio City, Valley Village and North Hollywood, so crews know the area and its roofs.

• Tile is sorted and reused where it is sound, which keeps the roof looking original.
• Solar panels get detached and reset on a schedule that matches the roofing crew.
• Skylights are re-flashed as part of the job rather than quoted as an extra later.
• We photograph every penetration before and after, so the file shows the work.
• Skylights are flashed new rather than reused, because that is where the next leak starts.

We would rather be on your roof in September than during the first atmospheric river. Expect photos, a measured scope and a number you can compare against anyone else.

What separates a good job from a cheap one

You get a start date and a finish date in writing, and we hold them.

• Deck repairs are priced per sheet so there is no surprise number halfway through.
• Warranty paperwork is registered for you, not left in a folder for you to chase.
• Rake and eave metal is new on every job; reusing bent metal is false economy.
• Moisture readings go in the report where a leak is suspected but not obvious.
