Two visits a year keeps a Yorba Linda roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and check the flashings after the first heavy storm. We see it on Yorba Linda roofs every week.

On most jobs, second-storey additions in Yorba Linda create a junction between old and new roof that calls for correct flashing rather than sealant. On most jobs, streets in Yorba Linda that were built out together tend to need roof coverings together, which is why one re-roof more often than not brings three more on the same block. In practice, many Yorba Linda properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails.
