A Glendora property frequently carries more than one roof covering type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. This holds across Los Angeles County. Original decking on older Glendora homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. We see it on Glendora roofs every week. Housing stock in Glendora runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof covering. What sits above the ceiling usually tells you when the building went up.
9The Glendora Maintenance Year
Flashings at the chimney on an older Glendora house usually need attention well before the covering does. Clearing the Glendora gutters in late autumn prevents nearly all of the deterioration the first storm would otherwise cause. Loose ridge caps on a Glendora roof covering are a five-minute fix in advance of the winds and a much larger one following. Skylight seals on Glendora roofs want checking annually, as they let go quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. Realistically, a Glendora roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years.
In practice, mixing materials across a Glendora roof is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly. Realistically, reclaimed tile can be matched on Glendora heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Realistically, synthetic composite has become a credible option in Glendora where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk.
