Solar arrays on Sierra Madre roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof covering age. That is as true in Sierra Madre as anywhere in Los Angeles County.

Put simply, silicone coatings hold up well on Sierra Madre roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. It is the same story on most Sierra Madre streets. On most jobs, composition shingle is the the majority of common covering in Sierra Madre and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the first to show UV damage. This holds across Los Angeles County.
