Thermal cycling does the damage in Fountain Valley — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. Summer thermal load is the main ageing force on a Fountain Valley roof. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months. A light-coloured covering in Fountain Valley measurably lowers attic temperature and takes load off the air conditioning. Debris in Fountain Valley valleys holds what little moisture arrives against the covering, which is where rot in most cases starts. Sealant is the soonest casualty in Fountain Valley; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons.

In practice, mixing materials across a Fountain Valley roof is fine provided each section gets the system it requires and the transitions are flashed properly. Synthetic composite has become a credible option in Fountain Valley where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. We see it on Fountain Valley roofs every week.

Put simply, composition shingle is the most common covering in Fountain Valley and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the soonest to show UV damage. Mixing materials across a Fountain Valley roof is fine provided each section gets the system it requires and the transitions are flashed properly. We see it on Fountain Valley roofs every week. Tile is widespread across Fountain Valley, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches owners out. This holds across Orange County. Put simply, coatings suit Fountain Valley buildings with a in good order deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. Cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Fountain Valley even where code does not require them.

Local references beat national brand badges on any Fountain Valley roofing decision. Check that the Fountain Valley crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it. Ask any Fountain Valley roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off.
