What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Woodland Hills
Our Woodland Hills reports keep returning to the same three findings: clay tile liners with joints opened by the 1994 Northridge earthquake, crowns cracked on the hillside homes that face the sun, and rusted cap mesh. Each one gets a photo, a location and a plain rating, so you can see where your house sits against that pattern. Summer afternoons here regularly pass 100 degrees, which bakes crown sealant, cap gaskets and door seals between burning seasons. Santa Ana winds in the fall make the spark arrestor mesh the first thing we photograph from the roof.

Houses We Write Up Here
In Woodland Hills the report often covers 1950s and 1960s ranch houses north of Ventura Boulevard, split-level hillside homes to the south, and newer builds with factory-built gas fireplaces.
