On most jobs, we photograph every elevation on a Glen Park project so the written estimate can be read against what is actually up there. Flashing at the wall junction is checked earliest on any Glen Park inspection, given that that is where the majority of ceiling stains originate. In practice, deck fastener pull-through is checked on older Glen Park roofs, since the sheathing often gives out before the shingle does. That is as true in Glen Park 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 Glen Park tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes. This holds across San Francisco County.
Composition shingle is the most common covering in Glen Park and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the first to show UV damage. Metal has grown in Glen Park for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. This holds across San Francisco County. Concrete tile suits Glen Park buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question first.
