As a rule, a proper Chula Vista inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb give out long before the covering does. That is as true in Chula Vista as anywhere in San Diego County. We photograph every elevation on a Chula Vista job so the documented estimate can be read against what is actually up there. This holds across San Diego County. As a rule, valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Chula Vista roof has been maintained. Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Chula Vista shingle roof, and it shows up years ahead of a ceiling stain does. It is the same story on most Chula Vista streets. Realistically, photographs with dates are part of every Chula Vista inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. Realistically, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Chula Vista tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes.
On most jobs, mixing materials across a Chula Vista roof is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly. In practice, cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Chula Vista even where code does not require them. On most jobs, tile is widespread across Chula Vista, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches homeowners out. We see it on Chula Vista roofs every week.
