Realistically, where Sunland buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next project is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. Most roofs in Sunland fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Original decking on older Sunland homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. Realistically, solar arrays on Sunland roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age.
