Shingle Roof Replacement in Rosemead: what actually fails
Post-war Rosemead housing is consistent enough that a neighbor's experience is a reasonable guide, which is not true four miles east where the building eras are mixed. Ask what was found on the house next door when it was done -- the deck is likely the same.
The variable that decides a shingle price here is what is under it. On the oldest El Monte stock the deck can be skip sheathing -- spaced boards laid for wood shake -- which a modern covering cannot be nailed into reliably and which has to be overlaid or replaced first. On a post-war bungalow it is board sheathing, and on recent infill it is plywood.
