Gutters on Richmond District properties corrode from the inside, and the first sign is usually staining on the fascia rather than a visible hole.

A correct Richmond District inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does.

6What the Weather Does to a Richmond District Roof

Wind-driven rainfall in Richmond District arrives sideways, so laps and headlaps do the work that gravity does on a sheltered roof covering. Vents and caps corrode faster than the roof in Richmond District, and replacing them during a re-roof costs almost nothing. Put simply, flashing details matter more on a Richmond District roof than the covering choice, because salt finds the joint before it finds the field. This holds across San Francisco County. Skylight curbs on Richmond District roofs fail early; the seal takes salt, UV and movement at the same time.

It attacks fasteners, flashing and any exposed metal long before the covering itself looks tired.

Silicone coatings hold up well on Richmond District roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not. In practice, reclaimed tile can be matched on Richmond District heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new.
