1Roof Age Across Western Addition

As a rule, roof age across Western Addition 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. Where Western Addition buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. It is the same story on most Western Addition streets. On most jobs, original decking on older Western Addition homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. Most roofs in Western Addition fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. This holds across San Francisco County. Streets in Western Addition that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block. Older Western Addition buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one.

3Western Addition Roofing and the Local Climate

Debris in Western Addition valleys holds what little moisture arrives against the covering, which is where rot in most cases starts. Worth knowing before you sign anything.

Phasing a large Western Addition building across two seasons is often cheaper than financing the whole job at once.

In practice, valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Western Addition roof has been maintained. This holds across San Francisco County. Core samples settle the argument on a Western Addition low-slope roof when moisture is suspected but not visible. Realistically, infrared scanning on a Western Addition commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find.
