Pacific Heights Roofing & Commercial Roof Repair

Licensed, insured and working in Pacific Heights

As a rule, checking the attic after the first heavy wet weather in Pacific Heights finds leaks while they are still stains rather than deterioration. San Francisco County is no different. Housing stock in Pacific Heights runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof covering. What sits above the ceiling usually tells you when the building went up. Second-storey additions in Pacific Heights create a junction between old and new roof that needs correct flashing rather than sealant. That is as true in Pacific Heights as anywhere in San Francisco County. On most jobs, moss on a shaded Pacific Heights slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it.

Original decking on older Pacific Heights homes is frequently skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. Ponding on a Pacific Heights low-slope roof dries slowly in marine air, which gives the membrane a harder working life than the wet weather total suggests. This holds across San Francisco County. Clearing the Pacific Heights gutters in late autumn prevents the majority of of the damage the first storm would otherwise cause. Roof pitch across Pacific Heights varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away.

Marine layer keeps Pacific Heights roofs damp into late morning most of the year, and slow-drying surfaces favour moss on the shaded slopes. Onshore wind load carries salt several blocks inland here, so Pacific Heights roofs require galvanised or stainless fixings rather than the cheaper plated stock. That is as true in Pacific Heights as anywhere in San Francisco County. Most roofs in Pacific Heights fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Roofs near the water in Pacific Heights corrode from the fixings outward. The shingle can look sound while the nails holding it have lost half their section.
