San Diego County is no different. Wind and storm damage on a Valley Center roof covering is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere.

Roof age across Valley Center 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. Garage and patio roofs in Valley Center are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. Second-storey additions in Valley Center create a junction between old and new roof covering that needs proper flashing rather than sealant.
