Roof coverings in Rainbow bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. That is as true in Rainbow as anywhere in San Diego County. Additions and conversions are common in Rainbow, and the joint between the original roof covering and the newer section is where the majority of leaks begin. Clearing the Rainbow gutters in late autumn prevents most of the damage the first storm would otherwise cause. A light-coloured covering in Rainbow measurably lowers attic temperature and takes load off the air conditioning.

Where Rainbow buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next project is a tear-off regardless of what the homeowner would prefer. We see it on Rainbow roofs every week. A Rainbow property often carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. It is the same story on most Rainbow streets. In practice, resealing penetrations on a Rainbow roof every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. On most jobs, debris in Rainbow valleys holds what little moisture arrives against the covering, which is where rot generally starts. San Diego County is no different.

In practice, walking a Rainbow tile roof covering damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone. Housing stock in Rainbow runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling usually tells you when the building went up. Realistically, rainbow gets its rain in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once. Realistically, attic temperatures in Rainbow drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation matters more here than the brochure suggests. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
