Dust and grit settle on Arleta roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains. Attic temperatures in Arleta drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation matters more here than the brochure suggests. In practice, expansion and contraction loosens fixings on Arleta roofs long before the material itself gives out. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Afternoon sun on a west-facing Arleta slope ages that side years ahead of the rest of the roof covering. It is the same story on most Arleta streets. Arleta gets its rain in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once. This holds across Los Angeles County.
In practice, annual inspection on a Arleta property typically adds two to three seasons to the back end of a roof's service working life. As a rule, a Arleta roof covering with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. Clearing the Arleta gutters in late autumn prevents most of the damage the first storm would otherwise cause.
