A Dana Point roof covering with working drainage outlasts an identical roof covering without it by seasons. Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Dana Point building — blocked outlets cause more harm here than the storms themselves. We see it on Dana Point roofs every week. As a rule, checking the attic after the earliest heavy rain in Dana Point finds leaks while they are still stains rather than deterioration. It is the same story on most Dana Point streets.
A Dana Point property commonly carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. Realistically, streets in Dana Point that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. Second-storey additions in Dana Point create a junction between old and new roof covering that needs done right flashing rather than sealant.
