2Santa Ana Roofing and the Local Climate

Reclaimed tile can be matched on Santa Ana heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. That is as true in Santa Ana as anywhere in Orange County.

Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Santa Ana shingle roof covering, and it shows up years before a ceiling stain does.
4Material Options for Santa Ana Roofs
Standing seam on a Santa Ana property hides its fixings, which removes the the majority of common leak path on exposed metal. Orange County is no different. Mixing materials across a Santa Ana roof is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly. It is the same story on most Santa Ana streets.
