On most jobs, dry offshore winds reach Mission Viejo through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist. Mission Viejo gets its wet weather in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once. This holds across Orange County.

Reclaimed tile can be matched on Mission Viejo heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new.
