Original decking on older Bayview homes is commonly skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. The majority of roofs in Bayview fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Additions and conversions are common in Bayview, and the joint between the original roof covering and the newer section is where most leaks begin. Second-storey additions in Bayview create a junction between old and new roof that requires done right flashing rather than sealant. We see it on Bayview roofs every week.

9Housing Stock and Roof Types in Bayview
Most roofs in Bayview fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their service life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. San Francisco County is no different. In practice, streets in Bayview that were built out together tend to require roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. Roof pitch across Bayview varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. In practice, multi-unit buildings in Bayview usually require a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off repair. Put simply, older Bayview buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one.
Put simply, warranty terms affect the real cost of a Bayview roof covering more than the headline figure does. Seasonal demand in Bayview affects scheduling more than price, but booking ahead of the rains helps both. In practice, cost on a Bayview roof comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath.
