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 seasons of each other. San Diego County is no different.
3Choosing a Covering in San Diego
Silicone coatings hold up well on San Diego roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. Worth knowing before you sign anything. As a rule, flat and low-slope sections in San Diego call for a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. As a rule, mixing materials across a San Diego roof covering is fine provided each section gets the system it requires and the transitions are flashed properly. We see it on San Diego roofs every week. Underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a San Diego tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. This holds across San Diego County. Realistically, standing seam on a San Diego property hides its fixings, which removes the most common leak path on exposed metal.

Most roofs 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.

Core samples settle the argument on a San Diego low-slope roof when damp is suspected but not visible.
