It is the same story on most Crocker-Amazon streets.
9Reading a Crocker-Amazon Roof by Its Era
In practice, where Crocker-Amazon buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. Garage and patio roofs in Crocker-Amazon are frequently lower slope than the house and require an entirely different system. Put simply, older Crocker-Amazon buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one. As a rule, roof pitch across Crocker-Amazon varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. Realistically, a Crocker-Amazon property often carries more than one roof covering type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. In practice, roof age across Crocker-Amazon clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. San Francisco County is no different.
Checking the attic after the first heavy rain in Crocker-Amazon finds leaks while they are still stains rather than damage. As a rule, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Crocker-Amazon building — blocked outlets cause more harm here than the storms themselves. Put simply, clearing the Crocker-Amazon gutters in late autumn prevents most of the damage the first storm would otherwise cause. That is as true in Crocker-Amazon as anywhere in San Francisco County.
