1How We Inspect a San Marcos Roof
On most jobs, flashing at the wall junction is checked earliest on any San Marcos inspection, because that is where most ceiling stains originate. As a rule, we check ventilation on every San Marcos job, since a roof covering that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life. A correct San Marcos inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. Core samples settle the argument on a San Marcos low-slope roof when damp is suspected but not visible. San Diego County is no different. Drone access on steep or fragile San Marcos roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it.
On most jobs, garage and patio roofs in San Marcos are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. Where San Marcos buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the property owner would prefer. Many San Marcos properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails.

As a rule, a San Marcos roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. Moss on a shaded San Marcos slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it.

As a rule, cost on a San Marcos roof comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath. A San Marcos quote that comes in far below the others is as a rule missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal.

That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives.
