Attic temperatures in Dogpatch drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation is what decides it more here than the brochure suggests. San Francisco County is no different. Loose ridge caps on a Dogpatch roof are a five-minute fix ahead of the winds and a much larger one following. This holds across San Francisco County. Thermal cycling does the damage in Dogpatch — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. Dogpatch gets its rain in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once.

Skylight seals on Dogpatch roof coverings want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. Put simply, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Dogpatch building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. Walking a Dogpatch tile roof damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone. Low-slope sections in Dogpatch hold heat worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here.

Streets in Dogpatch that were built out together tend to call for roofs together, which is why one re-roof frequently brings three more on the same block. Roofs in Dogpatch bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. In practice, summer high temperatures is the main ageing force on a Dogpatch roof. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day following day, for months. Where Dogpatch buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next project is a tear-off regardless of what the property owner would prefer.
