Moss on a shaded Encinitas slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Checking the attic after the first heavy wet weather in Encinitas finds leaks while they are still stains rather than harm. Walking a Encinitas tile roof damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone. San Diego County is no different.
Put simply, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Encinitas roofs, since the sheathing often lets go before the shingle does. Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Encinitas shingle roof, and it shows up years before a ceiling stain does. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Encinitas tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes.
