Resealing penetrations on a Shadow Hills roof covering every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. Put simply, most Shadow Hills roof coverings that fail early give out at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. Los Angeles County is no different. In practice, walking a Shadow Hills tile roof damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
