As a rule, many Valley Center properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails. Solar arrays on Valley Center roof coverings complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof covering age. Additions and conversions are common in Valley Center, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where the majority of leaks begin. San Diego County is no different. Put simply, older Valley Center buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count counts more than the age when planning the next one.

Realistically, a Valley Center written price that comes in far below the others is in most cases missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal. A Valley Center estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately.

6What Sits on Most Valley Center Roofs

A Valley Center contractor who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same job as the one who will. A roofer who explains why a Valley Center roof failed is more use than one who only quotes to replace it. Two warranties apply on Valley Center work: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both. We see it on Valley Center roofs every week.
