1Understanding Your Castro Estimate

Deck replacement on a Castro job is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate. Cost on a Castro roof comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath. Budgeting a Castro replacement a few years out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a contractor during a storm.

Put simply, ask a Castro roofing company for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the the project from the street. This holds across San Francisco County. Local experience is what decides it in Castro because the failure modes here are heat, wind and drainage rather than snow and ice.

Architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Castro roof for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer working life. We see it on Castro roofs every week.
