Shingle Roof Replacement in Temple City: what actually fails
Shade is not kind to asphalt. A slope that never dries fully between rains grows algae, holds granules less well and ages visibly faster than the sunlit side of the same roof. Under this canopy the shaded run is nearly always the one that needs attention first.
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.

- Which limbs need protecting or trimming before work starts
- Shaded slopes assessed separately from sunlit ones
- Outlet capacity against the actual leaf load, not the original
