That is as true in Panorama City as anywhere in Los Angeles County. On most jobs, most roofs in Panorama City fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. We see it on Panorama City roofs every week.
As a rule, manufacturer certification matters on Panorama City jobs since it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. Check that the Panorama City crew doing the the job is employed by the company quoting it. A good Panorama City roofer will talk you out of work you do not require, which is the clearest signal there is.
