5Preventative Work on San Diego Roofs

Most San Diego roofs that let go early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars.

Dust and grit settle on San Diego roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains. Summer thermal load is the main ageing force on a San Diego roof. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months.
