Architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a La Canada Flintridge roof for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer life. Los Angeles County is no different. Underlayment choice is what decides it more than covering choice on a La Canada Flintridge tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing.
8How We Inspect a La Canada Flintridge Roof
