Contractors quote after seeing the roof, not from a postcode, so where in San Clemente you are affects who turns up rather than what you are told.
The thing roofers see most often in this market is salt and onshore wind working on the metal long before the covering wears out. Close to the water, fasteners, valley metal, vent collars and gutter hangers corrode years ahead of the tile or shingle they hold down. Wind then finds whatever the corrosion loosened.
Most asked for around here: tile and slate roofing
Tile roofs fail from underneath. The tile you are looking at can be in perfect condition over underlayment that gave up a decade ago.
Questions
Do I have to hire anyone?
Not at all. Plenty of people use this to find out what a job costs and then do nothing for a year. That is a perfectly reasonable outcome.
What if the decking is rotten underneath?
Some of it usually is. The important thing is that the price per sheet is agreed in writing before the tear-off, so the conversation on day two is about quantity rather than rate.
My tile looks fine. Why am I being told I need a new roof?
The tile is a rain screen, not a seal. When the felt underneath fails, the roof leaks with perfectly sound tile on top. Relaying the existing tile is normal, and much cheaper than new tile.
