5The Crest Inspection, Step by Step
Core samples settle the argument on a Crest low-slope roof when moisture is suspected but not visible. A Crest roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. We look over the deck from inside the attic on every Crest project. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. That is as true in Crest as anywhere in San Diego County. A Crest inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. A done right Crest inspection starts at the flashings, not the field.

Two visits a year keeps a Crest roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and check the flashings after the first heavy storm.

6Which System Fits a Crest Property
Flat and low-slope sections in Crest need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. Put simply, reclaimed tile can be matched on Crest heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. As a rule, architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Crest roof covering for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer working life. Worth knowing before you sign anything. On most jobs, standing seam on a Crest property hides its fixings, which removes the most common leak path on exposed metal.

Coatings suit Crest buildings with a in good order deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation.

As a rule, roof pitch across Crest varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. Put simply, original decking on older Crest homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it.
Financing makes sense on a Crest roof that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with years of life left. San Diego County is no different.
