Los Angeles County is no different. In practice, solar arrays on Temple City roof coverings complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age. Roof age across Temple City clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few seasons of each other. Where Temple City buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer.
Realistically, nearly all Temple City roofs that fail early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. On most jobs, trimming back branches over a Temple City roof removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its service life. Moss on a shaded Temple City slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. That is as true in Temple City as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
