On most jobs, housing stock in Temple City runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling usually tells you when the building went up. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Solar arrays on Temple City roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age. Multi-unit buildings in Temple City generally need a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off repair.
