Phasing a large Temple City building across two seasons is often cheaper than financing the whole job at once. A Temple City quote that comes in far below the others is usually missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal. This holds across Los Angeles County. A Temple City estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately. We see it on Temple City roofs every week.
A Temple City roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. Two visits a year keeps a Temple City roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and inspect the flashings after the soonest heavy storm. Flashings at the chimney on an older Temple City house generally call for attention well in advance of the covering does. Los Angeles County is no different.
