1Maintaining a San Marcos Roof
Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any San Marcos building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. A maintenance record on a San Marcos roof covering also helps at claim time, given that it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. On most jobs, flashings at the chimney on an older San Marcos house usually need attention well before the covering does.

Concrete tile suits San Marcos buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first.
