Yes. Low-slope sections on Tarzana buildings need a membrane or coating system rather than shingle laid flatter than it is rated for, and they are quoted separately from the pitched roof.

Two visits a year: clear valleys and gutters before the rains, then check flashings after the first real storm. In Tarzana that matters most because asphalt dries out and sealant pulls back from penetrations years before the field wears through.

Tarzana sits in Los Angeles County and takes long dry heat, hard thermal cycling and rain that arrives in a few concentrated storms. In practice that means asphalt dries out and sealant pulls back from penetrations years before the field wears through.
