Policies covering Hidden Meadows properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly.
Thermal cycling does the damage in Hidden Meadows — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. Realistically, tile underlayment in Hidden Meadows dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street. Put simply, afternoon sun on a west-facing Hidden Meadows slope ages that side years ahead of the rest of the roof covering. That is as true in Hidden Meadows as anywhere in San Diego County.
