Ingleside Torch Down Modified Bitumen Roofing

One to three days on a typical Ingleside property, depending on size, pitch and how much deck needs replacing. Nothing is left open overnight.

Granules in the gutters, curling tabs, repeat stains in the same ceiling after every storm, and soft spots underfoot. In Ingleside, asphalt dries out and sealant pulls back from penetrations years before the field wears through.

Ingleside sits in San Francisco County and takes long dry heat, hard thermal cycling and rain that arrives in a few concentrated storms. In practice that means asphalt dries out and sealant pulls back from penetrations years before the field wears through.

Two visits a year: clear valleys and gutters before the rains, then check flashings after the first real storm. In Ingleside that matters most because asphalt dries out and sealant pulls back from penetrations years before the field wears through.

A full replacement in Ingleside is permitted and inspected through the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection. Small repairs generally are not, but the layer count and assembly are checked on any permitted job.

Check the licence, liability cover and workers' compensation, then ask any Ingleside contractor what happens if the deck is worse than expected — and get that answer in writing before the covering comes off.

We start at the flashings, check the deck from inside the attic, and photograph every elevation. On an Ingleside property we pay particular attention to dried-out underlayment and attic temperature.

Repair makes sense on an Ingleside roof with life left and one localised failure. Once the covering is past its service life, repairs buy months and a replacement buys decades.
