Half the calls off Rinaldi start the same way: a hallway ceiling stain after the first real rain, on a single-story ranch carrying the same composition roof for decades. Long, low-pitched runs hide things. Water tracks sideways and surfaces two rooms from the actual failure.
North of Rinaldi the job changes — bigger custom and equestrian homes toward the Santa Susana foothills, mostly concrete and clay tile, much of it in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone with brush against the rear slope. Same along Balboa near O'Melveny Park. There, underlayment and eave detail matter more than the tile does. Cross 50 percent on a reroof and Title 24 comes with it — radiant barrier, real attic ventilation.
Tile above Rinaldi, composition below it
Do I need a permit to reroof in Granada Hills?
Yes — LADBS jurisdiction here, not Santa Clarita, so the permit and inspection run through Los Angeles. We pull it with the job.
Why is my tile roof leaking when the tiles look fine?
Usually the underlayment has aged out. Tile outlasts the felt below it by years. We lift a section and tell you which it is.
