Realistically, dry offshore winds reach Hayes Valley through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist. On most jobs, summer heat is the main ageing force on a Hayes Valley roof covering. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months. Debris in Hayes Valley valleys holds what little damp arrives against the covering, which is where rot usually starts.

Resealing penetrations on a Hayes Valley roof every few years is the cheapest the project anyone will ever do on the building. On most jobs, moss on a shaded Hayes Valley slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. In practice, clearing the Hayes Valley gutters in late autumn prevents most of the damage the first storm would otherwise cause.

Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Hayes Valley building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. Trimming back branches over a Hayes Valley roof covering removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its working life. Resealing penetrations on a Hayes Valley roof every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. We see it on Hayes Valley roofs every week. A maintenance record on a Hayes Valley roof also helps at claim time, because it shows the failure was sudden rather than neglected. San Francisco County is no different. Loose ridge caps on a Hayes Valley roof are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one after. This holds across San Francisco County.

Additions and conversions are common in Hayes Valley, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where nearly all leaks begin. On most jobs, multi-unit buildings in Hayes Valley generally need a low-slope system and a maintenance plan rather than a one-off patch. As a rule, a Hayes Valley property commonly carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. San Francisco County is no different.
