8The National City Maintenance Year
Annual inspection on a National City property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service service life. This holds across San Diego County. On most jobs, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any National City building — blocked outlets cause more harm here than the storms themselves.

The National City contractor who tells you a repair will do, when a make good will do, is the one worth calling back. It is the same story on most National City streets.
