That is as true in Encinitas as anywhere in San Diego County. Core samples settle the argument on a Encinitas low-slope roof when damp is suspected but not visible. This holds across San Diego County. On most jobs, valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Encinitas roof has been maintained. A Encinitas inspection should end with a documented report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price.
