That is as true in Compton as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Housing stock in Compton runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof covering. What sits above the ceiling as a rule tells you when the building went up. Original decking on older Compton homes is commonly skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it.
