1Housing Stock and Roof Types in Presidio
Realistically, converted garages in Presidio are a common source of leaks because the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. Put simply, where Presidio buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the property owner would prefer. It is the same story on most Presidio streets. The majority of roofs in Presidio fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. We see it on Presidio roofs every week. On most jobs, streets in Presidio that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. Garage and patio roofs in Presidio are frequently lower slope than the house and require an entirely different system. A Presidio 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. This holds across San Francisco County.
Infrared scanning on a Presidio commercial roof covering locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. Drone access on steep or fragile Presidio roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it.

On most jobs, emergency tarping on a Presidio roof is normally covered, and receipts should be kept for it. That is as true in Presidio as anywhere in San Francisco County. Put simply, we do not advise filing a Presidio claim where the damage is clearly age, given that a declined claim stays on the record. That is as true in Presidio as anywhere in San Francisco County. Realistically, policies covering Presidio properties generally pay for sudden harm and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. On most jobs, actual cash value and replacement cost behave very differently on an older Presidio roof covering, and the policy wording decides which applies. Wind and storm damage on a Presidio roof is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere. It is the same story on most Presidio streets.
Fasteners are the weak point within a mile of the water in Presidio; plated nails give out while the covering above them still has years left. Put simply, onshore wind load carries salt several blocks inland here, so Presidio roof coverings need galvanised or stainless fixings rather than the cheaper plated stock. San Francisco County is no different. Realistically, marine layer keeps Presidio roofs damp into late morning most of the year, and slow-drying surfaces favour moss on the shaded slopes.
3The Presidio Inspection, Step by Step
Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Presidio tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes. In practice, granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a Presidio shingle roof covering, and it shows up seasons before a ceiling stain does.

As a rule, synthetic composite has become a credible option in Presidio where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. TPO and modified bitumen both the job on Presidio low-slope roofs, and the choice generally comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. In practice, underlayment choice is what decides it more than covering choice on a Presidio tile roof, given that that is the layer doing the waterproofing.

Put simply, marine layer keeps Presidio roof coverings damp into late morning most of the year, and slow-drying surfaces favour moss on the shaded slopes. Put simply, fasteners are the weak point within a mile of the water in Presidio; plated nails give out while the covering above them still has years left. Timber in Presidio roofs carries more moisture year-round, so deck condition counts more here than the age of the covering. Onshore wind carries salt several blocks inland here, so Presidio roofs need galvanised or stainless fixings rather than the cheaper plated stock. As a rule, the temperature swing in Presidio is narrow but the humidity is not, and sustained damp is harder on underlayment than heat alone.
In practice, concrete tile suits Presidio buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. We see it on Presidio roofs every week. In practice, composition shingle is the the majority of common covering in Presidio and the cheapest to swap out, but it is also the first to show UV damage. San Francisco County is no different.
