On most jobs, moss on a shaded Encinitas slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Encinitas building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. Flashings at the chimney on an older Encinitas house usually need attention well before the covering does. We see it on Encinitas roofs every week.
As a rule, ask any Encinitas roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off. Realistically, manufacturer certification counts on Encinitas jobs because it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. It is the same story on most Encinitas streets. Ask a Encinitas roofer for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the work from the street.
