Repair makes sense on a Los Alamitos roof with life left and one localised failure. Once the covering is past its service life, repairs buy months and a replacement buys decades.

Granules in the gutters, curling tabs, repeat stains in the same ceiling after every storm, and soft spots underfoot. In Los Alamitos, asphalt dries out and sealant pulls back from penetrations years before the field wears through.

In inland conditions, composition shingle runs roughly fifteen to twenty-five years, tile underlayment twenty to twenty-five, and coatings seven to fifteen depending on the system.
