Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Sunland building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. Keeping a dated maintenance file on a Sunland property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned. Loose ridge caps on a Sunland roof are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one following. Realistically, two visits a year keeps a Sunland roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and inspect the flashings following the first heavy storm. Resealing penetrations on a Sunland roof covering every few years is the cheapest the project anyone will ever do on the building. That is as true in Sunland as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
Put simply, concrete tile suits Sunland buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. Flat and low-slope sections in Sunland need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for.

A Sunland roof covering quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a estimate based on half the information.
