On most jobs, tile underlayment in Chula Vista dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Roofs in Chula Vista bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. San Diego County is no different. Attic ventilation on a Chula Vista property is not optional — trapped heat cooks the covering from underneath. That is as true in Chula Vista as anywhere in San Diego County. Expansion and contraction loosens fixings on Chula Vista roofs long before the material itself gives out.
We check the deck from inside the attic on every Chula Vista project. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. This holds across San Diego County. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Chula Vista tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes. A Chula Vista roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof covering surface; half the evidence is underneath.
