As a rule, many Borrego Springs properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails. Garage and patio roofs in Borrego Springs are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. Realistically, roof covering age across Borrego Springs clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. That is as true in Borrego Springs as anywhere in San Diego County.
