In practice, a Crocker-Amazon property often carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. San Francisco County is no different.

Mixing materials across a Crocker-Amazon roof is fine provided each section gets the system it needs and the transitions are flashed properly. On most jobs, architectural shingle outperforms three-tab on a Crocker-Amazon roof covering for a modest extra cost and a meaningfully longer life. Reclaimed tile can be matched on Crocker-Amazon heritage roof coverings, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
On most jobs, attic temperatures in Crocker-Amazon drive shingle working life as much as the weather above does, which is why ventilation counts more here than the brochure suggests. Worth knowing before you sign anything. A light-coloured covering in Crocker-Amazon measurably lowers attic temperature and takes load off the air conditioning. Thermal cycling does the damage in Crocker-Amazon — hot afternoons, cool nights, and materials expanding and contracting against their fixings all year.
