Upper Hale's elevated position north of Farnham combines wind exposure with some of the oldest concrete tile stock in the area. Properties built in the 1930s with the earliest concrete tile installations are now approaching 90 years old — well beyond the design life of the material. Many Upper Hale properties are in whole-roof-replacement territory regardless of other presenting issues.
