Sealant is the first casualty in Montebello; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. Debris in Montebello valleys holds what little moisture arrives against the covering, which is where rot usually starts.

That is as true in Montebello as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Cost on a Montebello roof comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath. Make good makes sense on a Montebello roof covering with life left and a localised failure, and nowhere else.
