Loose ridge caps on a Laguna Woods roof covering are a five-minute fix in advance of the winds and a much larger one after.
In practice, a Laguna Woods property commonly carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. Multi-unit buildings in Laguna Woods usually call for a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off make good. Many Laguna Woods properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails. It is the same story on most Laguna Woods streets.
