Tile underlayment in Hayes Valley dries out and goes brittle while the tile above it still looks new from the street.
9What Sits on Most Hayes Valley Roofs
Put simply, original decking on older Hayes Valley homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. Older Hayes Valley buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one. This holds across San Francisco County. Additions and conversions are common in Hayes Valley, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin. In practice, converted garages in Hayes Valley are a common source of leaks because the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. We see it on Hayes Valley roofs every week. Put simply, where Hayes Valley buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer. Streets in Hayes Valley that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof more often than not brings three more on the same block. This holds across San Francisco County.
Local references beat national brand badges on any Hayes Valley roofing decision. Ask any Hayes Valley roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer in advance of the covering comes off. In practice, a Hayes Valley contractor who will not put the assembly in writing is not quoting the same work as the one who will.
