That is as true in West Hollywood as anywhere in Los Angeles County. A West Hollywood roof covering with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. In practice, flashings at the chimney on an older West Hollywood house in most cases need attention well before the covering does. Los Angeles County is no different.
As a rule, roof covering surface temperatures in West Hollywood routinely run well above the air reading, and every material on the roof covering feels it. This holds across Los Angeles County. Realistically, west Hollywood gets its rain in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once. Summer heat is the main ageing force on a West Hollywood roof covering. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day once past day, for months.
