Composition shingle is the most common covering in Poway and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the earliest to show UV harm.
Roof coverings in Poway bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. San Diego County is no different. On most jobs, sealant is the soonest casualty in Poway; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. A light-coloured covering in Poway measurably lowers attic temperature and takes load off the air conditioning.
