Put simply, solar arrays on Santa Clarita roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof covering age. Roof age across Santa Clarita clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. Additions and conversions are common in Santa Clarita, and the joint between the original roof covering and the newer section is where nearly all leaks begin. This holds across Los Angeles County. Older Santa Clarita buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count is what decides it more than the age when planning the next one. It is the same story on most Santa Clarita streets.
As a rule, skylight seals on Santa Clarita roofs want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. We see it on Santa Clarita roofs every week. Put simply, resealing penetrations on a Santa Clarita roof covering every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. A maintenance record on a Santa Clarita roof covering also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected.
