Put simply, converted garages in Chula Vista are a common source of leaks given that the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. San Diego County is no different. Roof pitch across Chula Vista varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. Realistically, most roofs in Chula Vista fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later.
Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Chula Vista building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. Flashings at the chimney on an older Chula Vista house usually require attention well before the covering does. This holds across San Diego County. Resealing penetrations on a Chula Vista roof every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building.
