Realistically, standing seam on a Santa Ana property hides its fixings, which removes the nearly all common leak path on exposed metal. On most jobs, reclaimed tile can be matched on Santa Ana heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new.

Silicone coatings hold up well on Santa Ana roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. That is as true in Santa Ana as anywhere in Orange County.
