Snow is not the issue in Crest, but overnight frost on north slopes slows drying through winter. It is the same story on most Crest streets.

As a rule, many Crest properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails. San Diego County is no different.

Converted garages in Crest are a common source of leaks because the roof covering was never upgraded with the conversion.

On most jobs, most roofs in Crest fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their working life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later.

On most jobs, written scope, written price and a written warranty are the minimum on any Crest job. Two warranties apply on Crest work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both.

3Roofing Materials That Suit Crest
Silicone coatings hold up well on Crest roof coverings that pond slightly, where acrylic would not.
