Roof surface temperatures in Borrego Springs routinely run well above the air reading, and every material on the roof covering feels it. In practice, dust and grit settle on Borrego Springs roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains. Tile underlayment in Borrego Springs dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street. Debris in Borrego Springs valleys holds what little moisture arrives against the covering, which is where rot generally starts. Low-slope sections in Borrego Springs hold heat worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here. This holds across San Diego County.

In practice, garage and patio roofs in Borrego Springs are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. Original decking on older Borrego Springs homes is frequently skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it.
