1What the Weather Does to a Richmond District Roof
Salt air is the quiet trouble on a Richmond District roof. It attacks fasteners, flashing and any exposed metal long before the covering itself looks tired. On most jobs, skylight curbs on Richmond District roofs let go early; the seal takes salt, UV and movement at the same time. Put simply, flashing details matter more on a Richmond District roof covering than the covering choice, since salt finds the joint before it finds the field. Onshore wind carries salt several blocks inland here, so Richmond District roofs require galvanised or stainless fixings rather than the cheaper plated stock. As a rule, gutters on Richmond District properties corrode from the inside, and the soonest sign is usually staining on the fascia rather than a visible hole.

Standing seam on a Richmond District property hides its fixings, which removes the the majority of common leak path on exposed metal. That is as true in Richmond District as anywhere in San Francisco County. As a rule, cool-rated coverings are worth specifying in Richmond District even where code does not require them.
