A Oceanview property often carries more than one roof covering type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. Additions and conversions are common in Oceanview, and the joint between the original roof covering and the newer section is where most leaks begin. Streets in Oceanview that were built out together tend to require roof coverings together, which is why one re-roof more often than not brings three more on the same block. Roof pitch across Oceanview varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away.
Most Oceanview roofs that fail early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. Skylight seals on Oceanview roofs want checking annually, as they let go quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. A maintenance record on a Oceanview roof also helps at claim time, since it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected.
