Roof age across Encinitas clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. In practice, streets in Encinitas that were built out together tend to call for roof coverings together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. Housing stock in Encinitas runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof covering. What sits above the ceiling as a rule tells you when the building went up.
