Architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Marina District roof for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer life. Reclaimed tile can be matched on Marina District heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new.

Original decking on older Marina District homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it.

9Choosing a Marina District Roofing Contractor

The Marina District contractor who tells you a repair will do, when a repair will do, is the one worth calling back. This holds across San Francisco County. In practice, ask a Marina District contractor for recent addresses nearby and go and look at the work from the street. Realistically, local references beat national brand badges on any Marina District roofing decision. Ask any Marina District roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer before the covering comes off. That is as true in Marina District as anywhere in San Francisco County. Clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Marina District contract, not assumed. We see it on Marina District roofs every week. Beware the Marina District written price that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition.

Fog drip in Marina District delivers more moisture than the rain gauge suggests, and it arrives nightly rather than in storms. Vents and caps corrode faster than the roof covering in Marina District, and replacing them during a re-roof costs almost nothing. Fasteners are the weak point within a mile of the water in Marina District; plated nails give out while the covering above them still has years left.
