San Diego County is no different.
Put simply, a correct Winter Gardens inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb give out long before the covering does. We inspect the deck from inside the attic on every Winter Gardens job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. San Diego County is no different. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Winter Gardens tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes.
