We see it on Valley Center roofs every week.
As a rule, tile is widespread across Valley Center, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches owners out. This holds across San Diego County. On most jobs, coatings suit Valley Center buildings with a sound deck and a tired surface — they buy seasons, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Reclaimed tile can be matched on Valley Center heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new.
