Manufacturer certification counts on National City jobs because it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. Local references beat national brand badges on any National City roofing decision.
Cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in National City even where code does not require them. In practice, lightweight tile gives National City owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise require. That is as true in National City as anywhere in San Diego County. As a rule, composition shingle is the the majority of common covering in National City and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the earliest to show UV deterioration. San Diego County is no different.
