On most jobs, converted garages in Valley Center are a common source of leaks because the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. Second-storey additions in Valley Center create a junction between old and new roof that needs done right flashing rather than sealant.
Work in Valley Center is inspected as well as permitted — the county or city building department covering Valley Center signs off the finished assembly, not just the application. Realistically, historic districts near Valley Center may restrict covering type and colour, which is worth confirming before materials are ordered. In practice, the permit record for a Valley Center property is public, which is how a buyer's inspector checks the roof was done properly. That is as true in Valley Center as anywhere in San Diego County.
