It is the same story on most Santa Ana streets. Converted garages in Santa Ana are a common source of leaks since the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. Older Santa Ana buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count is what decides it more than the age when planning the next one.

Inspection scheduling in Santa Ana adds a day or two to the programme and should be in the contractor's timeline from the start. A permitted Santa Ana re-roof leaves a record that supports any later insurance claim on the same roof.
