Skylight seals on Sunland roofs want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. Los Angeles County is no different.

4Roof Age Across Sunland
On most jobs, housing stock in Sunland runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling usually tells you when the building went up.

Realistically, where Sunland buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. Many Sunland properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails. It is the same story on most Sunland streets.
Sunland sits where fire-zone assembly requirements apply, which limits what can be installed and how edges and vents must be detailed. Runoff arrives fast in Sunland. Slope above the property means drainage has to cope with volume rather than just rainfall.

6The Sunland Inspection, Step by Step
Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Sunland tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. A Sunland roof covering is inspected from the attic as well as the roof covering surface; half the evidence is underneath. As a rule, we look over the deck from inside the attic on every Sunland job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. Valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Sunland roof covering has been maintained. Realistically, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Sunland roofs, since the sheathing often fails in advance of the shingle does. On most jobs, a Sunland inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price.
Silicone coatings hold up well on Sunland roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not.

Put simply, flat and low-slope sections in Sunland need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. Put simply, metal has grown in Sunland for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener.
