Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Culver City roofs, since the sheathing more often than not gives out in advance of the shingle does. It is the same story on most Culver City streets.

Flat and low-slope sections in Culver City need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. In practice, reclaimed tile can be matched on Culver City heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Concrete tile suits Culver City buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. As a rule, coatings suit Culver City buildings with a sound deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation.
As a rule, flashing at the wall junction is checked soonest on any Culver City inspection, because that is where most ceiling stains originate. Los Angeles County is no different. As a rule, core samples settle the argument on a Culver City low-slope roof when moisture is suspected but not visible.
