Realistically, a Maywood roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. Realistically, resealing penetrations on a Maywood roof every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. This holds across Los Angeles County. On most jobs, checking the attic after the first heavy rain in Maywood finds leaks while they are still stains rather than deterioration. Los Angeles County is no different.
