That is as true in Temple City as anywhere in Los Angeles County. A proper Temple City inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb let go long in advance of the covering does. Realistically, moisture readings matter on Temple City low-slope roof coverings. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. Realistically, a Temple City roof covering is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. We inspect ventilation on every Temple City job, because a roof covering that cannot breathe will not reach its rated service life.
Structural work on a Temple City roof covering triggers a separate review beyond the roofing permit itself. the Temple City building department handles the paperwork for roofing work in Temple City, and a licensed roofer pulls it as part of the job rather than leaving it to the homeowner. We see it on Temple City roofs every week. Reroofing over existing layers in Temple City is limited by code, and the layer count is checked at inspection. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
