RDG Roofing | Roofing Services in Van Nuys, CA 91401

Yes, it's very common. Van Nuys gets intense, direct sunlight that can bake traditional asphalt shingles, making them brittle, fade, and lose their protective granules. This sun damage compromises your roof's ability to shed water and can lead to leaks. We recommend regular inspections and can install UV-resistant, high-quality shingles designed for our local climate to prevent premature aging.

The primary cause in our area is thermal expansion and contraction from daily temperature swings, combined with the sun's UV rays degrading sealants. Flashing around chimneys, vents, and valleys can loosen, creating gaps where water can seep in. Our technicians expertly resecure or replace flashing using durable materials and proper techniques to ensure a tight, long-lasting seal against the elements.

Often, yes. Many leaks in Van Nuys homes originate from localized sun damage or failed flashing. We perform a thorough inspection to pinpoint the exact source. If the overall roof structure is sound, we can typically perform a targeted repair—replacing damaged shingles and resealing flashing—to stop the leak effectively and affordably, saving you the cost of a premature full replacement.
