That is as true in Rancho Santa Fe as anywhere in San Diego County. In practice, converted garages in Rancho Santa Fe are a common source of leaks because the roof covering was never upgraded with the conversion. On most jobs, original decking on older Rancho Santa Fe homes is frequently skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. Older Rancho Santa Fe buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count counts more than the age when planning the next one.
Nearly all Rancho Santa Fe roofs that fail early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. Checking the attic after the soonest heavy wet weather in Rancho Santa Fe finds leaks while they are still stains rather than deterioration. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Clearing the Rancho Santa Fe gutters in late autumn prevents most of the damage the earliest storm would otherwise cause.
