Realistically, metal suits many Shadow Hills roofs because it sheds debris and meets fire assembly requirements without fuss. That is as true in Shadow Hills as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Sun and wind together in Shadow Hills dry out sealant faster than either does alone. Los Angeles County is no different. In practice, overnight cooling is sharper in Shadow Hills than down on the basin floor, and the daily expansion range on a roof surface is wider for it.
