4Why Bayview Roofs Age the Way They Do

Streets in Bayview that were built out together tend to call for roofs together, which is why one re-roof frequently brings three more on the same block. Where Bayview buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the owner would prefer.
5Choosing a Covering in Bayview
Concrete tile suits Bayview buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first. In practice, coatings suit Bayview buildings with a sound deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation.
