1Understanding Your Fallbrook Estimate

A Fallbrook roof quoted without anyone looking in the attic is a quote based on half the information.

3What Sits on Most Fallbrook Roofs

Original decking on older Fallbrook homes is more often than not skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. Converted garages in Fallbrook are a common source of leaks because the roof covering was never upgraded with the conversion. Garage and patio roof coverings in Fallbrook are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. On most jobs, additions and conversions are common in Fallbrook, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin. Streets in Fallbrook that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. San Diego County is no different. In practice, where Fallbrook buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next project is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. San Diego County is no different.

Put simply, inspect the CSLB licence number before any Fallbrook roofing company starts, and confirm liability cover and workers' compensation are current. Two warranties apply on Fallbrook the job: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. Realistically, beware the Fallbrook quote that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition. San Diego County is no different.

4What to Ask a Fallbrook Roofer

Ask a Fallbrook contractor for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the work from the street. As a rule, payment schedules on Fallbrook work should track progress, never run ahead of it. Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Fallbrook contract, not assumed. Manufacturer certification matters on Fallbrook jobs because it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. The Fallbrook roofer who tells you a make good will do, when a repair will do, is the one worth calling back. Ask any Fallbrook roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off.

Mixing materials across a Fallbrook roof is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly. This holds across San Diego County. As a rule, reclaimed tile can be matched on Fallbrook heritage roof coverings, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new.

9Keeping a Fallbrook Roof in Service

As a rule, two visits a year keeps a Fallbrook roof covering honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and inspect the flashings after the first heavy storm. In practice, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Fallbrook building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. A Fallbrook roof covering with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. We see it on Fallbrook roofs every week. As a rule, moss on a shaded Fallbrook slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Resealing penetrations on a Fallbrook roof every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. The majority of Fallbrook roofs that fail early let go at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars.

Put simply, uplift at the ridge is the usual failure on a Fallbrook roof covering, and it starts at one loose cap rather than across the field. Branches overhanging a Fallbrook roof covering drop debris year-round and give fire a path to the eave. Put simply, debris load is heavy in Fallbrook — needles, leaves and grit collect in valleys through the dry months and block them the earliest time it rains hard.
