1Reading a Ingleside Roof by Its Era

Original decking on older Ingleside homes is commonly skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it.

Roof age across Ingleside clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. That is as true in Ingleside as anywhere in San Francisco County. Roof covering pitch across Ingleside varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. Solar arrays on Ingleside roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age. The majority of roofs in Ingleside fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. That is as true in Ingleside as anywhere in San Francisco County.

Roofs in Ingleside bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. We see it on Ingleside roofs every week. Thermal cycling does the damage in Ingleside — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year.

Moss on a shaded Ingleside slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it.

Low-slope sections in Ingleside hold thermal load worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here.

Architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Ingleside roof for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer life.
