Realistically, roofs in Santa Fe Springs bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. It is the same story on most Santa Fe Springs streets. Dry offshore winds reach Santa Fe Springs through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist. We see it on Santa Fe Springs roofs every week. Realistically, roof surface temperatures in Santa Fe Springs routinely run well above the air reading, and every material on the roof covering feels it.
