As a rule, flashings at the chimney on an older Lemon Grove house generally need attention well before the covering does. Original decking on older Lemon Grove homes is frequently skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. On most jobs, walking a Lemon Grove tile roof damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone.

Roofs in Lemon Grove bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. Worth knowing before you sign anything. In practice, thermal cycling does the damage in Lemon Grove — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year.
