Flashings at the chimney on an older San Diego house usually need attention well before the covering does. A maintenance record on a San Diego roof also helps at claim time, since it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. Where San Diego buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next work is a tear-off regardless of what the property owner would prefer. Many San Diego properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails.

Additions and conversions are common in San Diego, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin. This holds across San Diego County. A San Diego roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by seasons. Roofs in San Diego bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. Two visits a year keeps a San Diego roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters in advance of the rains, and check the flashings after the first heavy storm. It is the same story on most San Diego streets.

Roof covering surface temperatures in San Diego routinely run well above the air reading, and every material on the roof feels it. It is the same story on most San Diego streets. Most roofs in San Diego fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. In practice, clearing the San Diego gutters in late autumn prevents most of the damage the first storm would otherwise cause. On most jobs, original decking on older San Diego homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
