A Financial District property often carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. Many Financial District properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it lets go. Realistically, where Financial District buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the property owner would prefer.

7What to Ask a Financial District Roofer
Ask any Financial District roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off. Realistically, clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Financial District contract, not assumed.

9Why Financial District Roofs Age the Way They Do
Summer heat is the main ageing force on a Financial District roof. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months. Put simply, low-slope sections in Financial District hold heat worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here. In practice, attic temperatures in Financial District drive shingle working life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation is what decides it more here than the brochure suggests. Afternoon sun on a west-facing Financial District slope ages that side years ahead of the rest of the roof covering. Dust and grit settle on Financial District roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the earliest time it rains.
