1Reading a Financial District Roof by Its Era
As a rule, most roofs in Financial District fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Older Financial District buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one. On most jobs, original decking on older Financial District homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. Garage and patio roofs in Financial District are frequently lower slope than the house and require an entirely different system. Second-storey additions in Financial District create a junction between old and new roof that requires correct flashing rather than sealant. It is the same story on most Financial District streets.
