Put simply, streets in Bell that were built out together tend to call for roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. Where Bell buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next project is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. Los Angeles County is no different. Realistically, original decking on older Bell homes is frequently skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it.
