1Which System Fits a Pacific Heights Property

Composition shingle is the most common covering in Pacific Heights and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the soonest to show UV damage. TPO and modified bitumen both work on Pacific Heights low-slope roofs, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. Standing seam on a Pacific Heights property hides its fixings, which removes the most common leak path on exposed metal. This holds across San Francisco County.

Clearing the Pacific Heights gutters in late autumn prevents the majority of of the damage the soonest storm would otherwise cause. In practice, walking a Pacific Heights tile roof damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone. That is as true in Pacific Heights as anywhere in San Francisco County. Checking the attic after the first heavy rain in Pacific Heights finds leaks while they are still stains rather than harm. That is as true in Pacific Heights as anywhere in San Francisco County. As a rule, a Pacific Heights roof with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. Two visits a year keeps a Pacific Heights roof covering honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and check the flashings after the soonest heavy storm. Moss on a shaded Pacific Heights slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it.

Realistically, solar arrays on Pacific Heights roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof covering age. Roof age across Pacific Heights 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. San Francisco County is no different. A Pacific Heights property often carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. It is the same story on most Pacific Heights streets.
