With spaced sheathing, the old covering comes off and minimum half-inch CDX or OSB sheathing is installed, and the 2025 code section for reroofing is LAMC section 91.1512 (CBC section 1512), not the older 91.1511 numbering that still circulates in secondary guides.

Valley heat and ultraviolet exposure, not snow, are the ageing forces here, and Santa Ana wind is the sudden one: Burbank Airport recorded gusts of 84 mph on 7 January 2025, and the Van Nuys–Burbank corridor was forecast to be hardest hit in that event. Heat-baked shingles lose granules, curl and grow brittle, especially on south slopes and on older homes without modern attic ventilation, while wind lifts tabs and ridge caps and drives debris into valleys and gutters.
