Drone access on steep or fragile San Francisco roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. Granule loss in the gutters is the earliest honest signal on a San Francisco shingle roof covering, and it shows up years before a ceiling stain does. Photographs with dates are part of every San Francisco inspection, since an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. Flashing at the wall junction is checked first on any San Francisco inspection, because that is where most ceiling stains originate.
Realistically, two visits a year keeps a San Francisco roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters before the rains, and inspect the flashings once past the first heavy storm. Realistically, loose ridge caps on a San Francisco roof covering are a five-minute fix ahead of the winds and a much larger one once past.
