3The Bayview Maintenance Year

Flashings at the chimney on an older Bayview house usually need attention well ahead of the covering does. That is as true in Bayview as anywhere in San Francisco County. Resealing penetrations on a Bayview roof covering every few years is the cheapest work anyone will ever do on the building. Most Bayview roofs that let go early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. That is as true in Bayview as anywhere in San Francisco County.

Realistically, infrared scanning on a Bayview commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. This holds across San Francisco County. A Bayview inspection should end with a written report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price. We check ventilation on every Bayview job, because a roof covering that cannot breathe will not reach its rated life. Put simply, a proper Bayview inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb let go long before the covering does. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Bayview tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes.
Synthetic composite has become a credible option in Bayview where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. We see it on Bayview roofs every week.

5What Sits on Most Bayview Roofs
Second-storey additions in Bayview create a junction between old and new roof covering that needs proper flashing rather than sealant. This holds across San Francisco County. In practice, original decking on older Bayview homes is more often than not skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. The majority of roofs in Bayview fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their service life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Additions and conversions are common in Bayview, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin. Where Bayview buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer.

On most jobs, walking a Bayview tile roof covering damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone.
