As a rule, a Lake San Marcos property often carries more than one roof covering type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. Put simply, housing stock in Lake San Marcos runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling usually tells you when the building went up. As a rule, second-storey additions in Lake San Marcos create a junction between old and new roof that needs correct flashing rather than sealant. San Diego County is no different. Realistically, older Lake San Marcos buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one. On most jobs, where Lake San Marcos buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. Many Lake San Marcos properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails. San Diego County is no different.
As a rule, deductibles on Lake San Marcos policies vary enough that the claim decision changes case by case. Partial claims on a Lake San Marcos roof are common and should be priced as repairs rather than inflated into replacements. A Lake San Marcos adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. This holds across San Diego County.
