Additions and conversions are common in Del Mar, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where the majority of leaks begin. It is the same story on most Del Mar streets. Original decking on older Del Mar homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. On most jobs, streets in Del Mar that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof frequently brings three more on the same block.
