Many Crocker-Amazon properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails. On most jobs, where Crocker-Amazon buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next project is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. A Crocker-Amazon property often carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. In practice, roof pitch across Crocker-Amazon varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. It is the same story on most Crocker-Amazon streets. Housing stock in Crocker-Amazon 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. Streets in Crocker-Amazon that were built out together tend to require roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block.
Summer thermal load is the main ageing force on a Crocker-Amazon roof covering. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months. Put simply, dry offshore winds reach Crocker-Amazon through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roof coverings are least lapped to resist. Sealant is the soonest casualty in Crocker-Amazon; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons.
