Put simply, keeping a dated maintenance file on a San Diego property pays for itself the first time a claim is questioned.

Damage recorded ahead of anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one. Worth knowing before you sign anything.

4Housing Stock and Roof Types in San Diego
Put simply, a San Diego property more often than not carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. As a rule, the majority of roof coverings in San Diego fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their working life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. As a rule, second-storey additions in San Diego create a junction between old and new roof that calls for correct flashing rather than sealant. Realistically, where San Diego buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. On most jobs, roof age across San Diego 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. As a rule, additions and conversions are common in San Diego, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where nearly all leaks begin.
Concrete tile suits San Diego buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. We see it on San Diego roofs every week.

As a rule, summer high temperatures is the main ageing force on a San Diego roof. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day once past day, for months. In practice, attic ventilation on a San Diego property is not optional — trapped high temperatures cooks the covering from underneath. It is the same story on most San Diego streets.

Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any San Diego building — blocked outlets cause more deterioration here than the storms themselves. This holds across San Diego County.

The permit record for a San Diego property is public, which is how a buyer's inspector checks the roof covering was done properly. This holds across San Diego County. Codes change, and City of San Diego Development Services applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a San Diego quote should state the assembly being fitted.

As a rule, we inspect the deck from inside the attic on every San Diego job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway.
