Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. Debris in Laguna Niguel valleys holds what little water arrives against the covering, which is where rot in most cases starts. That is as true in Laguna Niguel as anywhere in Orange County. Roof surface temperatures in Laguna Niguel routinely run well above the air reading, and every material on the roof covering feels it. This holds across Orange County. Laguna Niguel gets its rainfall in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once.
Streets in Laguna Niguel that were built out together tend to call for roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. On most jobs, a Laguna Niguel property frequently carries more than one roof covering type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. This holds across Orange County. Many Laguna Niguel properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails.
