Thermal cycling does the damage in Sun Valley — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. On most jobs, tile underlayment in Sun Valley dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street. Roof surface temperatures in Sun Valley routinely run well above the air reading, and every material on the roof feels it. That is as true in Sun Valley as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
