On most jobs, a Encinitas estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately. Worth knowing before you sign anything. As a rule, low-priced Encinitas quotes in most cases skip the flashing. That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives.
We inspect the deck from inside the attic on every Encinitas job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. This holds across San Diego County. Valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Encinitas roof has been maintained. Realistically, lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Encinitas tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes.
