Attic temperatures in La Mirada drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation matters more here than the brochure suggests. Attic ventilation on a La Mirada property is not optional — trapped heat cooks the covering from underneath. Los Angeles County is no different.
We check ventilation on every La Mirada job, since a roof covering that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life. We see it on La Mirada roofs every week. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a La Mirada tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes. Worth knowing before you sign anything. In practice, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older La Mirada roofs, since the sheathing often gives out before the shingle does.
