The San Gabriel Valley is in the middle of extreme environments and has a unique array of microclimates that affect your roof.
You can say we have mild weather since we don’t get hit with snow and ice, but if you’re in the higher elevations of Monrovia then your climate will be different than homeowners living in Alhambra or Covina.
Garvey Roofing installs and repairs roofs for all seasons.
Here’s a closer look:
Foothill communities (Pasadena, Sierra Madre, Monrovia):
You’ll enjoy cool nights in summer, more wind when the Santa Ana winds blow, and typically more rain than lower elevation cities like Alhambra and Temple City.
Impact: older roofs can have curled asphalt shingles that dry out from the hot air blowing through. Seams can be weakened from the summer heat and be vulnerable to leaks during heavy rains.
Inland has hot zones: Covina, West Covina, and Azusa
Expect lots of heating up in the summer.
Impact: Intense heat will weaken seams and cause premature aging in older asphalt and tiles roofs.
Basin communities like El Monte and Baldwin Park
These cities can be more humid than other surrounding areas and have less airflow than the foothill cities.
Impact: Heat can transfer from the roof and into the home during the summer. In the winter, heat can escape easily from the home’s interior and out through the attic and roof.
Cities in the San Gabriel Valley have lots of trees, especially around Pasadena and Arcadia. The shade can deflect late afternoon sun in some neighborhoods.
