1Keeping a Dogpatch Roof in Service

Annual inspection on a Dogpatch property typically adds two to three seasons to the back end of a roof's service life. This holds across San Francisco County. On most jobs, loose ridge caps on a Dogpatch roof are a five-minute fix before the winds and a much larger one after. In practice, trimming back branches over a Dogpatch roof covering removes the debris that holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life. Walking a Dogpatch tile roof damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone. On most jobs, moss on a shaded Dogpatch slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. That is as true in Dogpatch as anywhere in San Francisco County.

Dogpatch gets its rain in a handful of concentrated winter storms, which means drainage that sat dry collecting debris has to move everything at once. Worth knowing before you sign anything. Dry offshore winds reach Dogpatch through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist. San Francisco County is no different. Afternoon sun on a west-facing Dogpatch slope ages that side years ahead of the rest of the roof. That is as true in Dogpatch as anywhere in San Francisco County.

2Finding the Problem on a Dogpatch Roof

Photographs with dates are part of every Dogpatch inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. It is the same story on most Dogpatch streets.

Valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Dogpatch roof has been maintained.

3Roof Age Across Dogpatch

Streets in Dogpatch that were built out together tend to need roofs together, which is why one re-roof often brings three more on the same block.

Original decking on older Dogpatch homes is commonly skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. We see it on Dogpatch roofs every week.
