Loose ridge caps on a San Dimas roof are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one after. We see it on San Dimas roofs every week. Trimming back branches over a San Dimas roof removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its working life. Flashings at the chimney on an older San Dimas house usually need attention well before the covering does.
Reclaimed tile can be matched on San Dimas heritage roof coverings, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Realistically, standing seam on a San Dimas property hides its fixings, which removes the most common leak path on exposed metal. Flat and low-slope sections in San Dimas call for a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for.
