Loose ridge caps on a Garden Grove roof are a five-minute fix in advance of the winds and a much larger one following. A maintenance record on a Garden Grove roof covering also helps at claim time, given that it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. Orange County is no different. On most jobs, trimming back branches over a Garden Grove roof removes the debris that holds water against the covering and shortens its life. It is the same story on most Garden Grove streets.
