That is as true in Santa Paula as anywhere in Ventura County. In practice, a light-coloured covering in Santa Paula measurably lowers attic temperature and takes load off the air conditioning. Attic ventilation on a Santa Paula property is not optional — trapped heat cooks the covering from underneath.
Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Santa Paula building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. Worth knowing before you sign anything. As a rule, trimming back branches over a Santa Paula roof removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life. On most jobs, annual inspection on a Santa Paula property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service service life. We see it on Santa Paula roofs every week.
