Dust and grit settle on Mission Viejo roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the earliest time it rains. Realistically, sealant is the first casualty in Mission Viejo; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
