That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Realistically, a San Gabriel roof covering quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a quote based on half the information.
Multi-unit buildings in San Gabriel as a rule need a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off repair. That is as true in San Gabriel as anywhere in Los Angeles County. In practice, garage and patio roof coverings in San Gabriel are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. A San Gabriel property often carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. This holds across Los Angeles County.
