Put simply, flashing details matter more on a Imperial Beach roof than the covering choice, because salt finds the joint before it finds the field. That is as true in Imperial Beach as anywhere in San Diego County. Any exposed metal on a Imperial Beach roof wants a coating or a sacrificial finish, not bare galvanised left to weather. Roofs near the water in Imperial Beach corrode from the fixings outward. The shingle can look sound while the nails holding it have lost half their section.
