1What a Financial District Inspection Covers
A correct Financial District inspection starts at the flashings, not the field. Chimneys, vents, skylights and the swamp cooler curb fail long before the covering does. That is as true in Financial District as anywhere in San Francisco County. Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Financial District tile roof, and it takes fifteen minutes.

Flashing at the wall junction is checked earliest on any Financial District inspection, because that is where most ceiling stains originate. San Francisco County is no different. We inspect the deck from inside the attic on every Financial District job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. Realistically, infrared scanning on a Financial District commercial roof covering locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find.

2What the Weather Does to a Financial District Roof

Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing.
Reclaimed tile can be matched on Financial District heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Put simply, underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Financial District tile roof, because that is the layer doing the waterproofing. San Francisco County is no different.

Solar arrays on Financial District roof coverings complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age. Nearly all roofs in Financial District 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.

Resealing penetrations on a Financial District roof every few years is the cheapest the job anyone will ever do on the building. Keeping a dated maintenance file on a Financial District property pays for itself the soonest time a claim is questioned.
Realistically, beware the Financial District quote that expires today; urgency is a sales tactic, not a roofing condition. A good Financial District roofer will talk you out of work you do not require, which is the clearest signal there is. Payment schedules on Financial District work should track progress, never run ahead of it. This holds across San Francisco County.

Low-priced Financial District quotes usually skip the flashing. That is where the money is saved and where the next leak arrives.
A Financial District adjuster works from the scope in front of them, which is why the contractor's report has to be thorough. Emergency tarping on a Financial District roof is normally covered, and receipts should be kept for it. As a rule, insurance work in Financial District turns on documentation. Damage recorded in advance of anything is touched is the difference between a paid claim and a denied one.
