Roof age across Encinitas clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other.

Most roofs in Encinitas fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Streets in Encinitas that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. We see it on Encinitas roofs every week.
