Additions and conversions are common in Dana Point, and the joint between the original roof covering and the newer section is where most leaks begin. We see it on Dana Point roofs every week. In practice, solar arrays on Dana Point roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof covering age. A Dana Point property often carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. Garage and patio roof coverings in Dana Point are frequently lower slope than the house and require an entirely different system. It is the same story on most Dana Point streets. As a rule, many Dana Point properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it gives out.
Put simply, flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Dana Point inspection, because that is where most ceiling stains originate. Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Dana Point roofs, since the sheathing often fails before the shingle does. Core samples settle the argument on a Dana Point low-slope roof when moisture is suspected but not visible.
