On most jobs, budgeting a San Francisco replacement a few years out costs nothing and removes the pressure of choosing a roofer during a storm. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
Coatings suit San Francisco buildings with a intact deck and a tired surface — they buy seasons, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. Realistically, flat and low-slope sections in San Francisco require a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. Underlayment choice is what decides it more than covering choice on a San Francisco tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. It is the same story on most San Francisco streets.
