Put simply, checking the attic after the first heavy rain in Presidio finds leaks while they are still stains rather than deterioration.
3What to Ask a Presidio Roofer
As a rule, a roofing company who explains why a Presidio roof failed is more use than one who only quotes to renew it. San Francisco County is no different. Realistically, ask any Presidio roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off. San Francisco County is no different. Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Presidio contract, not assumed. The Presidio roofing company who tells you a repair will do, when a repair will do, is the one worth calling back.

Put simply, loose ridge caps on a Presidio roof are a five-minute fix in advance of the winds and a much larger one after. San Francisco County is no different. In practice, most Presidio roofs that fail early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. In practice, moss on a shaded Presidio slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it.
