Metal has grown in Cerritos for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. We see it on Cerritos roofs every week. Composition shingle is the nearly all common covering in Cerritos and the cheapest to swap out, but it is also the first to show UV damage.

Summer heat is the main ageing force on a Cerritos roof covering. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months.

Put simply, clearing the Cerritos gutters in late autumn prevents most of the damage the first storm would otherwise cause.
