Moisture readings matter on Bayview low-slope roofs. Coating over wet insulation seals the issue in rather than solving it. On most jobs, a proper Bayview inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does.

Realistically, the variable line on any Bayview written price is deck make good, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance. Warranty terms affect the real cost of a Bayview roof more than the headline figure does. San Francisco County is no different. Phasing a large Bayview building across two seasons is often cheaper than financing the whole work at once.

Put simply, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Bayview building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. Moss on a shaded Bayview slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. It is the same story on most Bayview streets.

6Material Options for Bayview Roofs
On most jobs, coatings suit Bayview buildings with a intact deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation.

Flashing at the wall junction is checked earliest on any Bayview inspection, given that that is where most ceiling stains originate. Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Bayview roofs, since the sheathing more often than not fails in advance of the shingle does. Realistically, we inspect ventilation on every Bayview work, because a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated service life.
