Put simply, silicone coatings hold up well on San Dimas roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. Synthetic composite has become a credible option in San Dimas where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. Put simply, underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a San Dimas tile roof, since that is the layer doing the waterproofing.
Realistically, gutter guards earn their keep in San Dimas where needle and leaf load is constant rather than seasonal. Access is part of the quote on steep San Dimas properties, and any honest estimate says so up front. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Branches overhanging a San Dimas roof drop debris year-round and give fire a path to the eave.
