Realistically, metal has grown in Borrego Springs for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener.
9What a Borrego Springs Inspection Covers
Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Borrego Springs shingle roof, and it shows up seasons in advance of a ceiling stain does. On most jobs, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Borrego Springs roofs, since the sheathing often gives out before the shingle does. It is the same story on most Borrego Springs streets. A Borrego Springs inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. A proper Borrego Springs inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb let go long before the covering does. This holds across San Diego County. Photographs with dates are part of every Borrego Springs inspection, given that an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster.
In practice, concrete tile suits Borrego Springs buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. Flat and low-slope sections in Borrego Springs need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. Underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Borrego Springs tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing.
