Spring Valley Clay & Concrete Tile Roofing

Spring Valley sits in San Diego County and takes long dry heat, hard thermal cycling and rain that arrives in a few concentrated storms. In practice that means asphalt dries out and sealant pulls back from penetrations years before the field wears through.

Yes. Spring Valley is about 124 miles from our Santa Monica yard, and we work it alongside Casa de Oro, Lemon Grove and La Mesa on the same routes.

Granules in the gutters, curling tabs, repeat stains in the same ceiling after every storm, and soft spots underfoot. In Spring Valley, asphalt dries out and sealant pulls back from penetrations years before the field wears through.

Pitch and exposure decide it before appearance does. Given inland conditions in Spring Valley, reflective coverings and real attic ventilation make the biggest difference.

In inland conditions, composition shingle runs roughly fifteen to twenty-five years, tile underlayment twenty to twenty-five, and coatings seven to fifteen depending on the system.

Two visits a year: clear valleys and gutters before the rains, then check flashings after the first real storm. In Spring Valley that matters most because asphalt dries out and sealant pulls back from penetrations years before the field wears through.

One to three days on a typical Spring Valley property, depending on size, pitch and how much deck needs replacing. Nothing is left open overnight.

We start at the flashings, check the deck from inside the attic, and photograph every elevation. On a Spring Valley property we pay particular attention to dried-out underlayment and attic temperature.
