As a rule, 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.
As a rule, a Dana Point roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof covering without it by seasons. This holds across Orange County. Flashings at the chimney on an older Dana Point house in most cases need attention well before the covering does. Trimming back branches over a Dana Point roof removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life. We see it on Dana Point roofs every week.
