About 29 miles from our Santa Monica yard, so an active leak in La Palma usually gets same-day or next-day attention, with planned work booked around the weather.

La Palma sits in Orange 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.

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.
