9Material Options for Bayview Roofs

Reclaimed tile can be matched on Bayview heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. It is the same story on most Bayview streets.

As a rule, flat and low-slope sections in Bayview need a membrane or a coating system, not shingle laid at a pitch it was never designed for. On most jobs, coatings suit Bayview buildings with a sound deck and a tired surface — they buy seasons, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation.
On most jobs, a Bayview inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. On most jobs, photographs with dates are part of every Bayview inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. It is the same story on most Bayview streets.
