Put simply, most Santa Fe Springs roof coverings that fail early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. Flashings at the chimney on an older Santa Fe Springs house usually require attention well before the covering does.
Santa Fe Springs gets its rain in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once. Afternoon sun on a west-facing Santa Fe Springs slope ages that side years ahead of the rest of the roof covering. Attic ventilation on a Santa Fe Springs property is not optional — trapped heat cooks the covering from underneath.
