Gutters on Rancho Palos Verdes properties corrode from the inside, and the first sign is usually staining on the fascia rather than a visible hole. Los Angeles County is no different. Ponding on a Rancho Palos Verdes low-slope roof dries slowly in marine air, which gives the membrane a harder life than the rain total suggests. Any exposed metal on a Rancho Palos Verdes roof wants a coating or a sacrificial finish, not bare galvanised left to weather. Salt air is the quiet trouble on a Rancho Palos Verdes roof covering. It attacks fasteners, flashing and any exposed metal long ahead of the covering itself looks tired.
