A maintenance record on a Laguna Beach roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. This holds across Orange County. A Laguna Beach roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. Keeping a dated maintenance file on a Laguna Beach property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned.
