As a rule, skylight seals on Encinitas roofs want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. Flashings at the chimney on an older Encinitas house usually require attention well before the covering does. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Annual inspection on a Encinitas property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service life.
On most jobs, manufacturer certification matters on Encinitas jobs since it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. It is the same story on most Encinitas streets. In practice, two warranties apply on Encinitas work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. In practice, check that the Encinitas crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it. We see it on Encinitas roofs every week.
