As a rule, fire-zone properties around El Monte carry assembly requirements that the permit will check against.
Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any El Monte building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. A maintenance record on a El Monte roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. Trimming back branches over a El Monte roof removes the debris that holds damp against the covering and shortens its life.
