We photograph every elevation on a Monterey Park job so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there.
Roof covering surface temperatures in Monterey Park routinely run well above the air reading, and every material on the roof covering feels it. Los Angeles County is no different. As a rule, attic temperatures in Monterey Park drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation counts more here than the brochure suggests. Attic ventilation on a Monterey Park property is not optional — trapped thermal load cooks the covering from underneath.
