As a rule, two visits a year keeps a Fallbrook roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters ahead of the rains, and inspect the flashings once past the soonest heavy storm. Clearing the Fallbrook gutters in late autumn prevents the majority of of the damage the first storm would otherwise cause. It is the same story on most Fallbrook streets. As a rule, skylight seals on Fallbrook roofs want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity.
