A light-coloured covering in Ingleside measurably lowers attic temperature and takes load off the air conditioning. San Francisco County is no different. On most jobs, attic ventilation on a Ingleside property is not optional — trapped heat cooks the covering from underneath. That is as true in Ingleside as anywhere in San Francisco County.
