4Choosing a Covering in Poway

Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Poway tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes. Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Poway roof coverings, since the sheathing often lets go before the shingle does. We see it on Poway roofs every week.

8Reading a Poway Roof by Its Era
Put simply, roof age across Poway 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. On most jobs, most roof coverings in Poway fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Where Poway buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the homeowner would prefer. Housing stock in Poway runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling generally tells you when the building went up.
