3Finding the Problem on a Richmond District Roof
Photographs with dates are part of every Richmond District inspection, since an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. A proper Richmond District inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does.

A Richmond District inspection should end with a documented report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. Deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Richmond District roofs, since the sheathing often fails before the shingle does. Drone access on steep or fragile Richmond District roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. San Francisco County is no different.
A Richmond District property often carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. This holds across San Francisco County.
