A Hayes Valley roof covering is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath.
Dry offshore winds reach Hayes Valley through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist. In practice, debris in Hayes Valley valleys holds what little moisture arrives against the covering, which is where rot usually starts. It is the same story on most Hayes Valley streets. Expansion and contraction loosens fixings on Hayes Valley roof coverings long in advance of the material itself gives out.
