That is as true in Bellflower as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Original decking on older Bellflower homes is frequently skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it.
Put simply, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Bellflower building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. Resealing penetrations on a Bellflower roof every few seasons is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. Put simply, nearly all Bellflower roofs that give out early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars.
