Cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Rancho Santa Fe even where code does not require them.
Local experience matters in Rancho Santa Fe given that the failure modes here are heat, gusting and drainage rather than snow and ice. Beware the Rancho Santa Fe quote that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition. Realistically, two warranties apply on Rancho Santa Fe work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. We see it on Rancho Santa Fe roofs every week.
