Put simply, visitacion Valley gets its rain in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once. San Francisco County is no different. Debris in Visitacion Valley valleys holds what little moisture arrives against the covering, which is where rot usually starts. Realistically, expansion and contraction loosens fixings on Visitacion Valley roofs long before the material itself gives out.
On most jobs, reclaimed tile can be matched on Visitacion Valley heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. San Francisco County is no different. On most jobs, tile is widespread across Visitacion Valley, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches property owners out. Composition shingle is the most common covering in Visitacion Valley and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the soonest to show UV damage. It is the same story on most Visitacion Valley streets.
