Synthetic composite has become a credible option in Fountain Valley where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
Roof covering age across Fountain Valley clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. A Fountain Valley property often carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. Orange County is no different. Realistically, solar arrays on Fountain Valley roof coverings complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof covering age. Orange County is no different.
