That is as true in Valley Glen as anywhere in Los Angeles County. Composition shingle is the most common covering in Valley Glen and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the soonest to show UV damage. Cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Valley Glen even where code does not require them.
