Put simply, garage and patio roof coverings in Crocker-Amazon are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. Solar arrays on Crocker-Amazon roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age. 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. Older Crocker-Amazon buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count is what decides it more than the age when planning the next one. On most jobs, converted garages in Crocker-Amazon are a common source of leaks because the roof was never upgraded with the conversion.
Most Crocker-Amazon roofs that fail early let go at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. This holds across San Francisco County. On most jobs, loose ridge caps on a Crocker-Amazon roof are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one after. We see it on Crocker-Amazon roofs every week. Put simply, resealing penetrations on a Crocker-Amazon roof covering every few years is the cheapest the project anyone will ever do on the building. This holds across San Francisco County.
