San Francisco County is no different.
Low-slope sections in Hayes Valley hold thermal load worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here. Dust and grit settle on Hayes Valley roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the soonest time it rains. Roofs in Hayes Valley bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing.
