Realistically, housing stock in La Puente runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling in most cases tells you when the building went up. Additions and conversions are common in La Puente, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin. In practice, second-storey additions in La Puente create a junction between old and new roof covering that requires proper flashing rather than sealant. Converted garages in La Puente are a common source of leaks because the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. That is as true in La Puente as anywhere in Los Angeles County.
As a rule, flat and low-slope sections in La Puente call for a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. In practice, synthetic composite has become a credible option in La Puente where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. Underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a La Puente tile roof, given that that is the layer doing the waterproofing.
