Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Riverside County
This county covers a lot of ground: older masonry neighborhoods in Riverside and Corona, planned tracts with factory-built or gas in Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee and Eastvale, and resort and desert homes in the Coachella Valley. Salt is not the issue; heat and age are. Repeated sun and heat crack crowns and joints, and Idyllwild, above 5,000 feet, adds snow and freezing nights. The county has had its own big quakes, San Jacinto in 1918 and, decades later, Joshua Tree in 1992.

On the Roof

Which Metal
