1What the Weather Does to a Winter Gardens Roof
Attic temperatures in Winter Gardens drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation counts more here than the brochure suggests. Debris in Winter Gardens valleys holds what little damp arrives against the covering, which is where rot usually starts. Sealant is the first casualty in Winter Gardens; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. That is as true in Winter Gardens as anywhere in San Diego County.
