On most jobs, salt air is the quiet problem on a Encinitas roof. It attacks fasteners, flashing and any exposed metal long before the covering itself looks tired. Realistically, wind-driven rain in Encinitas arrives sideways, so laps and headlaps do the work that gravity does on a sheltered roof covering. It is the same story on most Encinitas streets. Roofs near the water in Encinitas corrode from the fixings outward. The shingle can look intact while the nails holding it have lost half their section. This holds across San Diego County. The temperature swing in Encinitas is narrow but the humidity is not, and sustained damp is harder on underlayment than heat alone. Vents and caps corrode faster than the roof covering in Encinitas, and replacing them during a re-roof costs almost nothing. As a rule, marine layer keeps Encinitas roofs damp into late morning nearly all of the year, and slow-drying surfaces favour moss on the shaded slopes.
As a rule, two visits a year keeps a Encinitas roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and inspect the flashings once past the first heavy storm. In practice, skylight seals on Encinitas roofs want checking annually, as they give out quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. In practice, resealing penetrations on a Encinitas roof every few years is the cheapest the job anyone will ever do on the building.
