Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Cole Valley building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves.
Realistically, synthetic composite has become a credible option in Cole Valley where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. In practice, underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Cole Valley tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. It is the same story on most Cole Valley streets. Coatings suit Cole Valley buildings with a sound deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation.
