Why Do Homeowners in Woodland Hills Choose Asphalt Shingles?
Homeowners in Woodland Hills often choose asphalt shingles because they work on many residential roof slopes and damaged sections can often be repaired without replacing the entire roof. For homes in Woodland Hills, the overlapping shingles shed water, and the mineral granules protect the asphalt surface from sunlight.

How Do Asphalt Shingles Age on Woodland Hills Homes?
On Woodland Hills roofs, as asphalt shingles age, they can lose granules, become brittle, and stop sealing tightly to the row below. Granule loss, brittle edges and failed adhesive strips tell us more about a roof in Woodland Hills than shingle color does. Sun-facing slopes in Woodland Hills can age faster because prolonged sunlight gradually wears the shingle surface and its protective granules.
When Should You Install a New Asphalt Shingle Roof in Woodland Hills?
You may need a new asphalt shingle roof in Woodland Hills when wear or damage affects several parts of the roof. Before recommending replacement in Woodland Hills, we inspect the shingles, flashing, wooden roof deck and previous repair areas.
What Is an Asphalt Shingle Made Of?
For roofs in Woodland Hills, an asphalt shingle combines four main components: fiberglass for structure, asphalt for water resistance, mineral granules for surface protection and color, and an adhesive strip that helps the rows seal.

What Does Asphalt Shingle Roofing Installation in Woodland Hills Include?
A complete asphalt-shingle project in Woodland Hills covers inspection of the wooden roof deck, flashing and seals around roof openings, valleys and roof-edge drainage, and waterproofing at vulnerable roof edges.
The Woodland Hills installation also includes wind-resistant shingle fastening, extra attention at exposed edges and ridges, and new or rebuilt flashing.
After we remove the old roofing in Woodland Hills, we photograph any damaged roof decking. Before replacing damaged wood on a roof in Woodland Hills, we explain the added cost.
These are some of the installation details we focus on for Woodland Hills homes:
- Wind rating matched to the house: Shingles are rated for a wind speed, and the right rating depends on how exposed your house is rather than on the city it sits in. We set it from your own site.
- Ice-and-water membrane at the eaves: A waterproof membrane runs along the bottom edge of the roof, where snow melts and refreezes and pushes water back up under the shingles.
- Full tear-off to bare wood: Every layer comes off, including any second roof laid over the first. Tear-off is the only moment anyone gets to see the wood your roof is fastened to.
- All-new metal flashing: We replace the metal at chimneys, walls and vents rather than resealed. Sealant over old flashing buys a season and hides the problem in the meantime.
- Underlayment across the whole deck: Underlayment is a water-resistant layer between the wood and the shingles. It catches whatever gets past a shingle that has lifted or broken.
- Specified for snow load: At 5,699 feet the weight sits on the roof for months. We check the structure as well as the shingles, because sustained load works at fasteners and flashing in a way rain never does.
The shingle is the part you choose and the part you can see. Everything underneath it is what decides whether the roof reaches the life it is rated for, which is why we specify all of it in writing before we start.
