Trimming back branches over a Jamul roof covering removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life.

As a rule, lightweight tile gives Jamul owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise need. Composition shingle is the most common covering in Jamul and the cheapest to swap out, but it is also the first to show UV damage.

3What Sits on Most Jamul Roofs

Many Jamul properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails. Put simply, garage and patio roofs in Jamul are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system.
