Additions and conversions are common in Bayview, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where the majority of leaks begin. It is the same story on most Bayview streets. Many Bayview properties carry a covering chosen for price rather than climate, and it shows in how early it fails. Older Bayview buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count is what decides it more than the age when planning the next one. On most jobs, second-storey additions in Bayview create a junction between old and new roof that needs done right flashing rather than sealant. This holds across San Francisco County.
