A Valley Center property commonly carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. This holds across San Diego County. Realistically, roof covering pitch across Valley Center varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away.
Put simply, a proper Valley Center inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. It is the same story on most Valley Center streets. As a rule, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Valley Center tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes. We see it on Valley Center roofs every week. As a rule, we check the deck from inside the attic on every Valley Center job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway.
