Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Santa Fe Springs building — blocked outlets cause more deterioration here than the storms themselves.
As a rule, silicone coatings hold up well on Santa Fe Springs roof coverings that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. Los Angeles County is no different. Realistically, lightweight tile gives Santa Fe Springs property owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise require. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Mixing materials across a Santa Fe Springs roof covering is fine provided each section gets the system it calls for and the transitions are flashed properly. We see it on Santa Fe Springs roofs every week.
