As a rule, metal has grown in Dana Point for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. We see it on Dana Point roofs every week. Tile is widespread across Dana Point, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches owners out. In practice, coatings suit Dana Point buildings with a sound deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. Concrete tile suits Dana Point buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. That is as true in Dana Point as anywhere in Orange County.
Realistically, original decking on older Dana Point homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. Where Dana Point buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. Additions and conversions are common in Dana Point, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin. It is the same story on most Dana Point streets.
