1Reading a Borrego Springs Roof by Its Era
Put simply, streets in Borrego Springs that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof more often than not brings three more on the same block. San Diego County is no different. On most jobs, converted garages in Borrego Springs are a common source of leaks because the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. Where Borrego Springs buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next project is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. As a rule, roof age across Borrego Springs clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other.
