Garage and patio roofs in Dana Point are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. Original decking on older Dana Point homes is commonly skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. A Dana Point property frequently carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. We see it on Dana Point roofs every week. Roof covering age across Dana Point 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. Many Dana Point properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails. That is as true in Dana Point as anywhere in Orange County.
In practice, vents and caps corrode faster than the roof covering in Dana Point, and replacing them during a re-roof costs almost nothing. It is the same story on most Dana Point streets. Salt air is the quiet trouble on a Dana Point roof covering. It attacks fasteners, flashing and any exposed metal long before the covering itself looks tired. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Onshore wind carries salt several blocks inland here, so Dana Point roofs need galvanised or stainless fixings rather than the cheaper plated stock.
