Cost on a Glen Park roof comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath.
Thermal cycling does the harm in Glen Park — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year. San Francisco County is no different. Low-slope sections in Glen Park hold high temperatures worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here.
