1The Dana Point Maintenance Year
On most jobs, annual inspection on a Dana Point property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service life. Orange County is no different. Flashings at the chimney on an older Dana Point house usually need attention well before the covering does. Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Dana Point building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves.

Walking a Dana Point tile roof damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone. That is as true in Dana Point as anywhere in Orange County.

A Dana Point inspection should end with a itemised report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. As a rule, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Dana Point roofs, since the sheathing often lets go before the shingle does. In practice, water readings matter on Dana Point low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the problem in rather than solving it.
