In practice, debris in Financial District valleys holds what little moisture arrives against the covering, which is where rot usually starts. Summer heat is the main ageing force on a Financial District roof. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day after day, for months. We see it on Financial District roofs every week. Thermal cycling does the harm in Financial District — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. A light-coloured covering in Financial District measurably lowers attic temperature and takes load off the air conditioning. Put simply, dry offshore winds reach Financial District through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roof coverings are least lapped to resist.
Warranty terms affect the real cost of a Financial District roof more than the headline figure does. San Francisco County is no different. Seasonal demand in Financial District affects scheduling more than price, but booking ahead of the rains helps both. A Financial District written price that comes in far below the others is usually missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal.
