That is as true in Solana Beach as anywhere in San Diego County. Lightweight tile gives Solana Beach owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise need.
As a rule, fasteners are the weak point within a mile of the water in Solana Beach; plated nails give out while the covering above them still has years left. This holds across San Diego County. In practice, salt air is the quiet problem on a Solana Beach roof. It attacks fasteners, flashing and any exposed metal long before the covering itself looks tired. Vents and caps corrode faster than the roof in Solana Beach, and replacing them during a re-roof costs almost nothing.
