Licensed, insured and working in Alpine

Put simply, trimming back branches over an Alpine roof covering removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life. Original decking on older Alpine homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. Most Alpine roofs that fail early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. Where Alpine buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. That is as true in Alpine as anywhere in San Diego County.

Drainage on Alpine properties has to handle runoff from above as well as rainfall on the roof itself. That is as true in Alpine as anywhere in San Diego County. On most jobs, flashings at the chimney on an older Alpine house in most cases need attention well ahead of the covering does. We see it on Alpine roofs every week. Debris load is heavy in Alpine — needles, leaves and grit collect in valleys through the dry months and block them the first time it rains hard. Runoff arrives fast in Alpine. Slope above the property means drainage has to cope with volume rather than just rainfall. That is as true in Alpine as anywhere in San Diego County.

Roof pitch across Alpine varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. This holds across San Diego County. Most roofs in Alpine fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. That is as true in Alpine as anywhere in San Diego County. As a rule, moss on a shaded Alpine slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Access is part of the estimate on steep Alpine properties, and any honest estimate says so up front.
