Roof Rejuvenation in Van Nuys, CA
Roof rejuvenation in Van Nuys works on asphalt shingle roofs that still have life, and the post-war ranch homes on San Fernando Valley grid streets built here mostly in the 1940s and 1950s are the homes we inspect most.
Van Nuys is a neighborhood of the City of Los Angeles, and Van Nuys Airport is one of the busiest general aviation airports in the country. We offer free inspections in the Van Nuys Airport area, the Van Nuys Civic Center area, the Sepulveda Boulevard corridor and the Delano Park area.
Do roofs in Van Nuys qualify for rejuvenation?
Roofs in Van Nuys qualify for rejuvenation when they are asphalt shingle with a solid deck and shingles that still have life, which describes many post-war ranch homes in the Van Nuys Airport area and the Van Nuys Civic Center area.
In Van Nuys the heat bakes west-facing slopes hardest, and we often find cracked shingles and lifted tabs there.
A roof in the Sepulveda Boulevard corridor or the Delano Park area with soft decking or widespread curling is a replacement candidate instead, and we will say so at the inspection.

How old are most roofs in Van Nuys?
Most roofs in Van Nuys are 15 to 25 years old on post-war ranch homes that have been reroofed at least once.
If you do not know when your Van Nuys roof was last replaced, the permit history kept by the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS), because Van Nuys is part of the City of Los Angeles usually shows the reroof date, and we check the shingles directly during the inspection.
What does Van Nuys weather do to an asphalt roof?
Van Nuys weather brings hot San Fernando Valley summers that often pass 100 degrees, dry Santa Ana winds and cool winter nights.
For a post-war ranch home in the Van Nuys Civic Center area or the Sepulveda Boulevard corridor, San Fernando Valley heat above 100 degrees is what dries the asphalt out, loosens granules and lifts sealant at the edges over time.
