2Pricing a Rainbow Roof Honestly

Patch makes sense on a Rainbow roof covering with working life left and a localised failure, and nowhere else. It is the same story on most Rainbow streets. As a rule, budgeting a Rainbow replacement a few seasons out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a contractor during a storm. We see it on Rainbow roofs every week.

That is as true in Rainbow as anywhere in San Diego County. Realistically, rainbow gets its rainfall in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once.
