9Maintaining a Rancho Santa Fe Roof
Moss on a shaded Rancho Santa Fe slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. In practice, two visits a year keeps a Rancho Santa Fe roof covering honest: clear the valleys and gutters ahead of the rains, and inspect the flashings after the earliest heavy storm. It is the same story on most Rancho Santa Fe streets. A Rancho Santa Fe roof covering with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. On most jobs, keeping a dated maintenance file on a Rancho Santa Fe property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned. As a rule, flashings at the chimney on an older Rancho Santa Fe house usually call for attention well before the covering does. San Diego County is no different.
In practice, a Rancho Santa Fe roofing company who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same project as the one who will. Realistically, clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Rancho Santa Fe contract, not assumed. Ask a Rancho Santa Fe contractor for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the the job from the street.
