Realistically, a Ingleside property more often than not carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. In practice, solar arrays on Ingleside roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof covering age.

Clearing the Ingleside gutters in late autumn prevents most of the damage the first storm would otherwise cause. Skylight seals on Ingleside roof coverings want checking annually, as they fail quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity.

That is as true in Ingleside as anywhere in San Francisco County. In practice, photographs with dates are part of every Ingleside inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster.

Policies covering Ingleside properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. This holds across San Francisco County.

Tile underlayment in Ingleside dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street. This holds across San Francisco County. Ingleside gets its rain in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once.

Realistically, reclaimed tile can be matched on Ingleside heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. San Francisco County is no different.

9Ingleside Permit Requirements

The job in Ingleside is inspected as well as permitted — the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection signs off the finished assembly, not just the application. That is as true in Ingleside as anywhere in San Francisco County. On most jobs, permit fees in Ingleside are a small part of the project and a large part of what protects the owner at resale. It is the same story on most Ingleside streets. The permit record for a Ingleside property is public, which is how a buyer's inspector checks the roof was done properly. Structural work on a Ingleside roof triggers a separate review beyond the roofing permit itself. Codes change, and the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection applies the version current on the day the permit issues, which is one reason a Ingleside written price should state the assembly being installed. Realistically, unpermitted roofing in Ingleside surfaces at resale. the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection keeps the record, and a buyer's inspector knows to look for it.

Sealant is the first casualty in Ingleside; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. San Francisco County is no different. Dust and grit settle on Ingleside roof coverings through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains. On most jobs, attic temperatures in Ingleside drive shingle working life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation matters more here than the brochure suggests.
