Older San Gabriel buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count counts more than the age when planning the next one. Realistically, roof covering 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 years of each other. Housing stock in San Gabriel runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling usually tells you when the building went up.

In practice, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a San Gabriel tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes. We check ventilation on every San Gabriel job, because a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life. Worth knowing before you sign anything. On most jobs, a San Gabriel inspection should end with a itemised report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any San Gabriel inspection, because that is where nearly all ceiling stains originate. We check the deck from inside the attic on every San Gabriel job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway.
Composition shingle is the most common covering in San Gabriel and the cheapest to swap out, but it is also the earliest to show UV damage.

3The San Gabriel Maintenance Year

Afternoon sun on a west-facing San Gabriel slope ages that side seasons ahead of the rest of the roof. Debris in San Gabriel valleys holds what little water arrives against the covering, which is where rot in most cases starts.
