Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Laguna Hills tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes.

On most jobs, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Laguna Hills building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. Loose ridge caps on a Laguna Hills roof are a five-minute fix in advance of the winds and a much larger one once past. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Resealing penetrations on a Laguna Hills roof every few years is the cheapest the project anyone will ever do on the building. This holds across Orange County.
