As a rule, itemised scope, written price and a written warranty are the minimum on any Lake San Marcos work. It is the same story on most Lake San Marcos streets.
Reclaimed tile can be matched on Lake San Marcos heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Coatings suit Lake San Marcos buildings with a intact deck and a tired surface — they buy seasons, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. Synthetic composite has become a credible option in Lake San Marcos where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk.
