On most jobs, debris in Borrego Springs valleys holds what little damp arrives against the covering, which is where rot usually starts. Summer thermal load is the main ageing force on a Borrego Springs roof covering. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months. Dust and grit settle on Borrego Springs roof coverings through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains. Sealant is the first casualty in Borrego Springs; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons.
Payment schedules on Borrego Springs work should track progress, never run ahead of it. Ask any Borrego Springs roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer ahead of the covering comes off. As a rule, written scope, written price and a documented warranty are the minimum on any Borrego Springs job.
