Keeping a dated maintenance file on a San Clemente property pays for itself the earliest time a claim is questioned. Orange County is no different. On most jobs, resealing penetrations on a San Clemente roof every few years is the cheapest the project anyone will ever do on the building. Worth knowing before you sign anything. On most jobs, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any San Clemente building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves.
