Silicone coatings hold up well on La Habra roof coverings that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. Put simply, cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in La Habra even where code does not require them. It is the same story on most La Habra streets. Synthetic composite has become a credible option in La Habra where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk.
In practice, where La Habra buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next work is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. A La Habra property often carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. This holds across Orange County. Put simply, original decking on older La Habra homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it.
