Roofing Challenges Specific to San Lorenzo
San Lorenzo's beautiful mature trees create a specific roofing challenge you don't find everywhere. Those large oaks and other established trees drop leaves, branches, and acorns constantly. This debris accumulates in roof valleys and gutters, holding moisture against your shingles and accelerating wear. We see this throughout San Lorenzo, from Paseo Grande to Lewelling Boulevard, where tree canopy coverage is heavy.
Many San Lorenzo homes were built in the 1950s and 1960s during the post-war housing boom. If you live in one of these original homes and haven't replaced your roof in the last 20 years, you're likely overdue. The composition shingles from that era were good products, but nothing lasts forever. We work on these classic San Lorenzo homes regularly and know exactly what to expect when evaluating roof replacement needs.
San Lorenzo also sits in a relatively flat area with good drainage toward San Lorenzo Creek, but that doesn't mean drainage issues don't occur. When gutters clog with debris from trees, water overflows and can damage your fascia boards, soffits, and foundation. Our gutter cleaning and maintenance services are particularly important in San Lorenzo. We recommend at least twice-yearly cleaning if you have mature trees near your home, combined with regular roof inspections to catch problems early.
What We Fix Most Often in San Lorenzo
Tree damage ranks at the top of our San Lorenzo service calls. Falling branches during storms cause obvious damage, but even small twigs and leaves create problems over time. When organic debris sits on your roof, it traps moisture and creates perfect conditions for moss and algae growth. We clean this debris regularly and can install zinc strips along ridge lines to help prevent future organic growth on your shingles.
Flashing failures around chimneys and roof penetrations are another frequent issue in San Lorenzo's older homes. The metal flashing that seals these critical areas deteriorates over time, especially when exposed to moisture from tree debris. Once flashing fails, water works its way into your roof deck and attic space. Many homeowners don't discover these leaks until they see water stains inside, by which point there's often hidden damage requiring more extensive repairs.
We also handle a lot of whole-roof replacements in San Lorenzo. When your roof reaches the end of its lifespan, usually 20 to 25 years for composition shingles, repairs stop making financial sense. At that point, you're better off investing in a complete replacement that gives you another 20 plus years of protection. We'll help you understand when repair makes sense and when replacement is the smarter choice.

Best Roofing Materials for San Lorenzo Homes
For San Lorenzo's climate and tree coverage, we typically recommend architectural composition shingles with algae-resistant granules. These cost slightly more than basic three-tab shingles but resist the moss and algae growth that's common under tree canopies. The dimensional appearance also looks better and adds curb appeal to your home.
Metal roofing is worth considering if you're tired of dealing with tree debris. Metal panels shed leaves and branches much better than composition shingles, and they don't provide any foothold for moss or algae growth. While metal costs more upfront, it lasts two to three times longer than composition shingles and requires minimal maintenance. Many San Lorenzo homeowners are choosing metal for exactly these reasons.
