A good La Habra roofer will talk you out of work you do not need, which is the clearest signal there is. It is the same story on most La Habra streets.

La Habra gets its rain in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once. Orange County is no different. Summer heat is the main ageing force on a La Habra roof. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day once past day, for months. On most jobs, debris in La Habra valleys holds what little water arrives against the covering, which is where rot usually starts. We see it on La Habra roofs every week. Attic temperatures in La Habra drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation matters more here than the brochure suggests.
TPO and modified bitumen both work on La Habra low-slope roofs, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. Flat and low-slope sections in La Habra need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for.

9La Habra Roofing and the Local Climate
Expansion and contraction loosens fixings on La Habra roofs long before the material itself gives out. Sealant is the first casualty in La Habra; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. Thermal cycling does the harm in La Habra — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. We see it on La Habra roofs every week. Roof surface temperatures in La Habra routinely run well above the air reading, and every material on the roof covering feels it. Attic temperatures in La Habra drive shingle service life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation matters more here than the brochure suggests. Orange County is no different.
As a rule, original decking on older La Habra homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. Roof age across La Habra clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. Where La Habra buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer.
