Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Cerritos shingle roof, and it shows up years ahead of a ceiling stain does. Los Angeles County is no different. A proper Cerritos inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb let go long before the covering does. This holds across Los Angeles County.

Put simply, drone access on steep or fragile Cerritos roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. Los Angeles County is no different. Moisture readings matter on Cerritos low-slope roof coverings. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it. It is the same story on most Cerritos streets.

Original decking on older Cerritos homes is more often than not skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it.
