That is as true in Temple City as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Trimming back branches over a Temple City roof removes the debris that holds water against the covering and shortens its life. Realistically, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Temple City building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. The majority of Temple City roof coverings that fail early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. Skylight seals on Temple City roofs want checking annually, as they give out quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity.
Cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Temple City even where code does not require them. Put simply, mixing materials across a Temple City roof covering is fine provided each section gets the system it calls for and the transitions are flashed properly. Reclaimed tile can be matched on Temple City heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new.
