We check ventilation on every Glen Park job, because a roof that cannot breathe will not reach its rated working life.

Infrared scanning on a Glen Park commercial roof covering locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. A proper Glen Park inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long ahead of the covering does. We check the deck from inside the attic on every Glen Park job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. Drone access on steep or fragile Glen Park roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it.
Permit requirements in Glen Park run through the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection. Minor repairs usually do not need one; a tear-off and replacement does. On most jobs, historic districts near Glen Park may restrict covering type and colour, which is worth confirming before materials are ordered. That is as true in Glen Park as anywhere in San Francisco County. Full replacements in Glen Park generally require a permit through the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection, with an inspection once the work is finished.
