Roofing and solar work near El Camino Real and Avenida Pico

San Clemente's Spanish Village character means clay tile — from Ole Hanson-era homes near Del Mar Ave to the newer tracts of Talega and Forster Ranch. Our crews run straight up I-5, and tile is what we do most.

At McKay Roofing and Solar, we've been working roofs across San Diego County since 1981. We see the same roof types and the same failures over and over, so we're not guessing what works in your area.

Common roof problems we see around Talega and Forster Ranch

Coastal exposure corrodes flashing on the west side while Talega's hills take real wind. The recurring issue across both: tile roofs whose underlayment is decades older than it looks, letting winter storms through at valleys and penetrations.

We also see a lot of layered repairs. One patch over another. Those hold for a while, then fail together. Many calls start as a normal roof repair, but end up being bigger conversations once the roof is inspected fully.

Roof replacement trends in San Clemente neighborhoods

Lift-and-relay preserves the clay tile that defines San Clemente while renewing everything beneath it. On non-tile homes, cool-rated architectural shingle with corrosion-resistant flashing is the standard coastal package.

We help homeowners decide when roof replacement makes sense instead of continuing short-term fixes. Every street is a little different here, so replacement plans need to match the structure, not just the material.

Solar installation considerations in San Clemente

San Clemente is SDG&E territory, same as San Diego — same net billing rules, same 4–9 p.m. peak, same battery math. We are Tesla and Enphase certified and quote from your actual usage. Tile-specific mounting matters enormously here; done wrong, it is a leak factory.

We often inspect the roof first to decide if solar installation should happen now or after roofing work. Doing things in the right order avoids pulling panels off again a few years later.

Why San Clemente homeowners call McKay

Tile roofing and solar under one license since 1981. Free estimates, financing available, and we service solar systems whose original installer has gone out of business — there are many in South Orange County.

Being local also means faster follow-ups and better accountability. When a contractor’s shop is minutes away, problems get handled quicker once work starts.
