Standing seam on a Richmond District property hides its fixings, which removes the most common leak path on exposed metal. TPO and modified bitumen both the project on Richmond District low-slope roofs, and the choice generally comes down to detailing rather than the sheet.
On most jobs, older Richmond District buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one. Second-storey additions in Richmond District create a junction between old and new roof that calls for proper flashing rather than sealant. Roof age across Richmond District clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other.
