2Richmond District Roofing Budgets
Phasing a large Richmond District building across two seasons is often cheaper than financing the whole project at once. Financing makes sense on a Richmond District roof that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with years of life left. It is the same story on most Richmond District streets. Square footage is only half the cost of a Richmond District roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. A Richmond District estimate worth reading itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up separately. In practice, a Richmond District written price that comes in far below the others is as a rule missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal. San Francisco County is no different.
Fasteners are the weak point within a mile of the water in Richmond District; plated nails give out while the covering above them still has years left. Any exposed metal on a Richmond District roof wants a coating or a sacrificial finish, not bare galvanised left to weather. Salt air is the quiet problem on a Richmond District roof.
