Learn MoreWhat the roof check finds in Tustin
Three eras show up in one city: early 1900s homes with brick in Old Town, 1980s stucco and tile in Tustin Ranch, and new housing with gas or factory-built units on the former air station. Each gets its own short list from the roof. Warm summers with moderate marine influence make for slow wear, and dry fall gusts test caps. The Newport-Inglewood and Whittier faults both get felt here, as La Habra showed in 2014.
