As a rule, skylight seals on Cerritos roof coverings want checking annually, as they let go quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. Resealing penetrations on a Cerritos roof every few years is the cheapest the job anyone will ever do on the building. Flashings at the chimney on an older Cerritos house generally need attention well ahead of the covering does. Los Angeles County is no different.
