Local Roofing Considerations

The salt air is the main roofing story in Santa Cruz. The ocean breeze carries the salt, and the salt corrodes the flashing and the metal. The coastal homes need the corrosion-resistant materials.

The redwoods are the second factor. The redwood needles and the oak leaves drop onto the roofs and into the gutters, and the shade feeds the algae and the moss.

The housing is a mix of the older coastal cottages, the hillside homes, and the newer construction. The asphalt shingle roof is the standard, and the metal and the tile are growing.
