Where Chula Vista buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. On most jobs, a Chula Vista property commonly carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. San Diego County is no different. Roof age across Chula Vista clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few seasons of each other. Multi-unit buildings in Chula Vista usually call for a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off repair. Converted garages in Chula Vista are a common source of leaks since the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. It is the same story on most Chula Vista streets. Older Chula Vista buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one.
Photographs taken ahead of any tarping on a Chula Vista property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim. Most Chula Vista claims that fail do so because the damage was cleaned up or patched before anyone photographed it. Wind load and storm damage on a Chula Vista roof covering is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere.
