Flashing details matter more on a Richmond District roof covering than the covering choice, since salt finds the joint in advance of it finds the field. On most jobs, gutters on Richmond District properties corrode from the inside, and the first sign is in most cases staining on the fascia rather than a visible hole. Salt air is the quiet problem on a Richmond District roof. It attacks fasteners, flashing and any exposed metal long before the covering itself looks tired. Shaded north slopes in Richmond District hold water well past sunrise, which is why moss shows up there first and nowhere else. In practice, timber in Richmond District roofs carries more damp year-round, so deck condition matters more here than the age of the covering. On most jobs, onshore wind carries salt several blocks inland here, so Richmond District roofs require galvanised or stainless fixings rather than the cheaper plated stock.

4Understanding Your Richmond District Estimate

Square footage is only half the cost of a Richmond District roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. Budgeting a Richmond District replacement a few seasons out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a contractor during a storm. Realistically, deck replacement on a Richmond District job is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate.

This holds across San Francisco County. Original decking on older Richmond District homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it.

Underlayment choice counts more than covering choice on a Richmond District tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. San Francisco County is no different.
