Written, itemised estimates let National City owners compare bids properly rather than guessing at what is included. Realistically, budgeting a National City replacement a few years out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a contractor during a storm.

That is as true in National City as anywhere in San Diego County.
A National City inspection should end with a documented report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. Realistically, a proper National City inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb let go long in advance of the covering does. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a National City tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes.
