Put simply, housing stock in Lake San Marcos runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling generally tells you when the building went up. As a rule, many Lake San Marcos properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it gives out. A Lake San Marcos property frequently carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. San Diego County is no different.
Checking the attic after the first heavy rain in Lake San Marcos finds leaks while they are still stains rather than harm. Moss on a shaded Lake San Marcos slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Annual inspection on a Lake San Marcos property typically adds two to three years to the back end of a roof's service life.
