Second-storey additions in Winter Gardens create a junction between old and new roof that requires proper flashing rather than sealant. This holds across San Diego County.
In practice, we photograph every elevation on a Winter Gardens job so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. Put simply, core samples settle the argument on a Winter Gardens low-slope roof covering when moisture is suspected but not visible. That is as true in Winter Gardens as anywhere in San Diego County. We check ventilation on every Winter Gardens job, because a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life.
