Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Laguna Woods
Only about 7% of homes are detached here; the rest are mostly co-op or condo manors in low buildings, generally for residents 55 and up. Chimneys, where they exist, are usually a matter for the association, and roof photos are the easy way to report. Some marine mornings and warm dry summers set the climate. Fall and winter gusts can work caps loose, and while quakes centered elsewhere get felt, no named one is centered in the city.
The Houses
On our Laguna Woods visits: low-rise co-op and condo manors, very few detached homes, a community for those 55 and older.
On the Roof
Caps, chase tops and flashing on low-rise manor roofs, with photos an association can file.
Which Metal
Moderate salt, low buildings and gusty days mean a well fastened stainless part is the sensible pick here.
Same Day, Nearby
Laguna Woods visits often share a day with Newport Coast, Laguna Hills, Laguna Niguel.
