As a rule, cheap Temple City quotes as a rule skip the flashing. That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives.
On most jobs, trimming back branches over a Temple City roof removes the debris that holds damp against the covering and shortens its life. As a rule, two visits a year keeps a Temple City roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and check the flashings after the first heavy storm. Los Angeles County is no different. In practice, flashings at the chimney on an older Temple City house as a rule call for attention well ahead of the covering does. Los Angeles County is no different.
