A Fountain Valley property frequently carries more than one roof covering type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. This holds across Orange County. Realistically, second-storey additions in Fountain Valley create a junction between old and new roof that needs proper flashing rather than sealant.
In practice, loose ridge caps on a Fountain Valley roof covering are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one following. Trimming back branches over a Fountain Valley roof removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its service life. We see it on Fountain Valley roofs every week. A Fountain Valley roof covering with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years.
