Roofs in Temple City bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. That is as true in Temple City as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Dust and grit settle on Temple City roof coverings through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains. In practice, sealant is the soonest casualty in Temple City; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
