A replacement in Santa Fe Springs begins at the deck.
The cool roof rule here
The city is in climate zone 9. When a single-family house is reroofed over more than half the roof, a steep-slope covering needs at least 0.20 reflectance after aging and 0.75 emittance, with SRI 16 as the other route. Low slopes must reach 0.63 and 0.75, with SRI 75 as the other route. The state rule applies, since the city is not part of the City of Los Angeles.
Materials that suit the houses
Composition shingle fits most pitched roofs of the era. Lightweight tile suits framing that cannot carry standard tile, and membranes suit the flat sections over garages and additions. Ask which material the framing was built for.
Permit office
Permits come from the City of Santa Fe Springs, which posts its building forms on the city site. The roofing company normally applies. Check the address on the CAL FIRE map viewer and ask the city.
