Wind and storm deterioration on a Encinitas roof covering is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere. This holds across San Diego County.
Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Encinitas roofs, since the sheathing often gives out in advance of the shingle does. As a rule, we photograph every elevation on a Encinitas job so the itemised estimate can be read against what is actually up there. We see it on Encinitas roofs every week. Drone access on steep or fragile Encinitas roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it.
