Repair makes sense on a Lemon Grove roof with working life left and a localised failure, and nowhere else. On most jobs, deck replacement on a Lemon Grove project is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate.
Concrete tile suits Lemon Grove buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question soonest. Reclaimed tile can be matched on Lemon Grove heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. As a rule, standing seam on a Lemon Grove property hides its fixings, which removes the most common leak path on exposed metal. San Diego County is no different.
