Realistically, roof pitch across Noe Valley varies enough that the right material on one street is the wrong one two blocks away. That is as true in Noe Valley as anywhere in San Francisco County. Garage and patio roofs in Noe Valley are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. It is the same story on most Noe Valley streets. As a rule, solar arrays on Noe Valley roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age.
