Multi-unit buildings in Cerritos usually need a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off make good. Older Cerritos buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one.

Concrete tile suits Cerritos buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. That is as true in Cerritos as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
