Housing stock in Borrego Springs runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling as a rule tells you when the building went up. Streets in Borrego Springs that were built out together tend to need roof coverings together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. In practice, second-storey additions in Borrego Springs create a junction between old and new roof covering that requires correct flashing rather than sealant. San Diego County is no different. Most roofs in Borrego Springs fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Many Borrego Springs properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails. It is the same story on most Borrego Springs streets.
Tile underlayment in Borrego Springs dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street. Expansion and contraction loosens fixings on Borrego Springs roofs long ahead of the material itself gives out. Attic ventilation on a Borrego Springs property is not optional — trapped heat cooks the covering from underneath.
