A Rancho Santa Fe roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. Valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Rancho Santa Fe roof covering has been maintained.
The project in Rancho Santa Fe is inspected as well as permitted — the county or city building department covering Rancho Santa Fe signs off the finished assembly, not just the application. That is as true in Rancho Santa Fe as anywhere in San Diego County. In practice, permit fees in Rancho Santa Fe are a small part of the project and a large part of what protects the owner at resale. Solar removal and reset on a Rancho Santa Fe job can need its own electrical permit alongside the roofing one. It is the same story on most Rancho Santa Fe streets.

Mixing materials across a Rancho Santa Fe roof covering is fine provided each section gets the system it requires and the transitions are flashed properly.

As a rule, resealing penetrations on a Rancho Santa Fe roof every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. Walking a Rancho Santa Fe tile roof covering damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone.
