Metal has grown in Santa Paula for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener.
Converted garages in Santa Paula are a common source of leaks because the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. On most jobs, additions and conversions are common in Santa Paula, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where the majority of leaks begin. Older Santa Paula buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one. That is as true in Santa Paula as anywhere in Ventura County.
