9What Sits on Most Crocker-Amazon Roofs
Solar arrays on Crocker-Amazon roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age. A Crocker-Amazon property frequently carries more than one roof covering type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Garage and patio roof coverings in Crocker-Amazon are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. Older Crocker-Amazon buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count counts more than the age when planning the next one. San Francisco County is no different. As a rule, streets in Crocker-Amazon that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof frequently brings three more on the same block. Original decking on older Crocker-Amazon homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. It is the same story on most Crocker-Amazon streets.
Realistically, coatings suit Crocker-Amazon buildings with a intact deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. That is as true in Crocker-Amazon as anywhere in San Francisco County. Put simply, underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Crocker-Amazon tile roof covering, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. That is as true in Crocker-Amazon as anywhere in San Francisco County. In practice, lightweight tile gives Crocker-Amazon homeowners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise need. We see it on Crocker-Amazon roofs every week.
