On most jobs, second-storey additions in Financial District create a junction between old and new roof that needs proper flashing rather than sealant. Converted garages in Financial District are a common source of leaks given that the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. That is as true in Financial District as anywhere in San Francisco County. Original decking on older Financial District homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it.
