As a rule, tile underlayment in Cerritos dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street. Realistically, sealant is the first casualty in Cerritos; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. Los Angeles County is no different.
Realistically, the variable line on any Cerritos written price is deck make good, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance. Material choice changes a Cerritos roof covering budget less than most homeowners expect; labour and complexity dominate. Patch makes sense on a Cerritos roof covering with life left and a localised failure, and nowhere else.
