Rosemead runs its own Building and Safety Division, so a reroof here goes to a city counter and not to LADBS or the County. The median house was built in 1959.
The houses of Rosemead
Survey figures (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024): median year built 1959, median home value 807,200 dollars, and 4,925 owner-occupied single-family homes in the city.
We begin at the deck: layers, sheathing and soft boards. What we find goes into the written scope.
Zone 9 values
Rosemead is in climate zone 9 (California Energy Commission ZIP code table). Zone 9 steep roofs replaced beyond 50 percent are held to SRI 16, or to aged reflectance 0.20 with emittance 0.75 (California Energy Commission, 2022).
Ceiling insulation of R-38 is one of the exceptions that count as meeting the rule. We ask what is in the attic before we choose a covering.
