This holds across San Francisco County. On most jobs, flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any Haight-Ashbury inspection, given that that is where the majority of ceiling stains originate. Realistically, valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Haight-Ashbury roof has been maintained. San Francisco County is no different.

Architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Haight-Ashbury roof covering for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer working life. San Francisco County is no different.
