We look over the deck from inside the attic on every Encinitas project. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. Photographs with dates are part of every Encinitas inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Core samples settle the argument on a Encinitas low-slope roof when moisture is suspected but not visible. That is as true in Encinitas as anywhere in San Diego County. We check ventilation on every Encinitas job, because a roof covering that cannot breathe will not reach its rated working life.
Additions and conversions are common in Encinitas, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin. Roof covering age across Encinitas clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. Realistically, housing stock in Encinitas runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling usually tells you when the building went up. San Diego County is no different.
