It is the same story on most National City streets.

This holds across San Diego County. Realistically, policies covering National City properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. As a rule, a National City adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. On most jobs, wind and storm damage on a National City roof is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere.

As a rule, lightweight tile gives National City owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise need. That is as true in National City as anywhere in San Diego County. Concrete tile suits National City buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. Composition shingle is the most common covering in National City and the cheapest to swap out, but it is also the earliest to show UV harm. We see it on National City roofs every week.
