On most jobs, we look over the deck from inside the attic on every San Gabriel project. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. A proper San Gabriel inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long ahead of the covering does. Los Angeles County is no different.
Realistically, most roofs in San Gabriel fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their service life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Many San Gabriel properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it gives out. Roof age across San Gabriel clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few seasons of each other. Los Angeles County is no different.
