Any exposed metal on a El Segundo roof wants a coating or a sacrificial finish, not bare galvanised left to weather. Vents and caps corrode faster than the roof in El Segundo, and replacing them during a re-roof costs almost nothing. In practice, timber in El Segundo roofs carries more moisture year-round, so deck condition matters more here than the age of the covering. Los Angeles County is no different.
