A Richmond District roof covering is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. This holds across San Francisco County.

Warranty terms affect the real cost of a Richmond District roof more than the headline figure does.

As a rule, composition shingle is the most common covering in Richmond District and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the soonest to show UV damage. Concrete tile suits Richmond District buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. San Francisco County is no different. Reclaimed tile can be matched on Richmond District heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new.

It is the same story on most Richmond District streets. Underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Richmond District tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Metal has grown in Richmond District for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener.

3Why Richmond District Roofs Age the Way They Do
