Gutter guards earn their keep in Julian where needle and leaf load is constant rather than seasonal. On most jobs, sun and gusting together in Julian dry out sealant faster than either does alone. Snow is not the issue in Julian, but overnight frost on north slopes slows drying through winter.
Silicone coatings hold up well on Julian roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. Underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Julian tile roof covering, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. Reclaimed tile can be matched on Julian heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new.
