Realistically, garage and patio roofs in Pauma Valley are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. Where Pauma Valley buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the homeowner would prefer. Original decking on older Pauma Valley homes is more often than not skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. We see it on Pauma Valley roofs every week. Most roofs in Pauma Valley fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their service life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Streets in Pauma Valley that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof commonly brings three more on the same block. San Diego County is no different.
Photographs with dates are part of every Pauma Valley inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. A Pauma Valley inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. We see it on Pauma Valley roofs every week. In practice, we check the deck from inside the attic on every Pauma Valley job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway.
