2Keeping a Santa Ana Roof in Service

Flashings at the chimney on an older Santa Ana house usually need attention well before the covering does. That is as true in Santa Ana as anywhere in Orange County.

Most Santa Ana roofs that fail early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. That is as true in Santa Ana as anywhere in Orange County.

Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Santa Ana inspection, because that is where most ceiling stains originate. Infrared scanning on a Santa Ana commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. Orange County is no different. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Santa Ana tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes. Photographs with dates are part of every Santa Ana inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. Orange County is no different. On most jobs, core samples settle the argument on a Santa Ana low-slope roof when moisture is suspected but not visible.

6Vetting a Contractor in Santa Ana
Local experience is what decides it in Santa Ana because the failure modes here are heat, wind and drainage rather than snow and ice.

Square footage is only half the cost of a Santa Ana roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. It is the same story on most Santa Ana streets.

Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Santa Ana contract, not assumed.
3The Santa Ana Maintenance Year
