9Housing Stock and Roof Types in Encinitas
On most jobs, second-storey additions in Encinitas create a junction between old and new roof that requires proper flashing rather than sealant. In practice, older Encinitas buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one. Additions and conversions are common in Encinitas, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin. Original decking on older Encinitas homes is frequently skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. We see it on Encinitas roofs every week. A Encinitas property frequently carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. As a rule, the majority of roof coverings in Encinitas fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their service life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. We see it on Encinitas roofs every week.
Put simply, a Encinitas contractor who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same work as the one who will. Realistically, the Encinitas contractor who tells you a make good will do, when a repair will do, is the one worth calling back. Ask a Encinitas contractor for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the work from the street.
