Many Santa Clarita properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails. This holds across Los Angeles County. Streets in Santa Clarita that were built out together tend to require roofs together, which is why one re-roof frequently brings three more on the same block. Roof pitch across Santa Clarita varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
