A Bell Gardens roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. This holds across Los Angeles County.
As a rule, converted garages in Bell Gardens are a common source of leaks because the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. Los Angeles County is no different. Roof covering age across Bell Gardens clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. As a rule, second-storey additions in Bell Gardens create a junction between old and new roof that requires proper flashing rather than sealant.
