2Storm Damage Claims in Haight-Ashbury

Haight-Ashbury gets its rain in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once. Expansion and contraction loosens fixings on Haight-Ashbury roofs long before the material itself gives out. As a rule, thermal cycling does the damage in Haight-Ashbury — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. On most jobs, attic ventilation on a Haight-Ashbury property is not optional — trapped thermal load cooks the covering from underneath. Attic temperatures in Haight-Ashbury drive shingle life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation counts more here than the brochure suggests.

Standing seam on a Haight-Ashbury property hides its fixings, which removes the most common leak path on exposed metal. That is as true in Haight-Ashbury as anywhere in San Francisco County.

A correct Haight-Ashbury inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. Realistically, core samples settle the argument on a Haight-Ashbury low-slope roof when moisture is suspected but not visible. We check ventilation on every Haight-Ashbury job, because a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated working life. It is the same story on most Haight-Ashbury streets.
