Checking the attic following the first heavy rain in Valley Center finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage. It is the same story on most Valley Center streets. On most jobs, clearing the Valley Center gutters in late autumn prevents most of the deterioration the soonest storm would otherwise cause. Two visits a year keeps a Valley Center roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and inspect the flashings after the first heavy storm. That is as true in Valley Center as anywhere in San Diego County. Annual inspection on a Valley Center property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service working life.
Put simply, standing seam on a Valley Center property hides its fixings, which removes the the majority of common leak path on exposed metal. San Diego County is no different. In practice, lightweight tile gives Valley Center homeowners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise need. TPO and modified bitumen both the project on Valley Center low-slope roofs, and the choice as a rule comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. That is as true in Valley Center as anywhere in San Diego County.
