In West Covina we replace shingle roofs on the city's post-war tract homes, add solid sheathing over old spaced decks, improve attic ventilation, and repair storm and wind damage. West Covina has its own building division, so permits come from the city, and calls are answered 24/7.
Tract homes reaching their next roof
West Covina's tracts were built quickly, often with low-pitched gable or hip roofs, simple attic vents and composition shingle over spaced boards. Many have been re-roofed once or twice since, and the next job usually means tearing off to the original deck.
Valley heat is hard on these roofs. Thin attic venting lets heat build up under the shingles, so a re-roof is a good time to add proper intake and exhaust, and on homes that run hot upstairs, a radiant barrier is worth considering.
West Covina grew from a small farming town into a large suburb during the 1950s, when most of its single-family tracts were built. Homes from one tract usually share the same roof framing, venting and decking, so once we've opened one roof on a street we know what the neighbors' roofs likely hide. That makes quoting and planning more accurate.
