Low-slope sections in Noe Valley hold heat worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here. We see it on Noe Valley roofs every week. Sealant is the first casualty in Noe Valley; it shrinks, cracks and pulls away from every penetration within a few seasons. It is the same story on most Noe Valley streets. Thermal cycling does the damage in Noe Valley — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
