Long Beach is 50 square miles in area and is home to more than 460,000 people, making it the 7th largest city in the state of California. Long Beach homes vary greatly in style and architecture, including Mission revival, Spanish colonial, craftsman bungalow, foursquare, and cottage-style homes.
Because of all the varieties, this also means a variety of roofing:
asphalt shingles,
tiles, and
metal. California leads the way within the United States with solar installation, and installations have tripled in recent years.
