Realistically, older Valley Center buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one. Put simply, streets in Valley Center that were built out together tend to need roof coverings together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. Many Valley Center properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it lets go.
