A median house built in 1962
The median home was built in 1962, and in the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 estimates the median owner-reported value is $909,400. A reroof is a chance to bring the deck, the flashing and the vents up to current standards, and to confirm the framing can carry the chosen covering.
Zone 9: what changes at half the roof
Monrovia is in climate zone 9. Replace over half of a single-family roof here and the state cool roof rule applies, so a steep slope needs at least 0.20 reflectance after aging and 0.75 emittance, with SRI 16 as the other route. Half the roof or less is exempt.
The permit counter and the fire map
Reroof permits come from the City of Monrovia, which lists permit information on its own site. CAL FIRE's official hazard severity viewer shows the zone for an address, and the city's fire or building office can say what that means for your permit.
