Worth knowing before you sign anything. Solar arrays on Hayes Valley roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age. As a rule, garage and patio roof coverings in Hayes Valley are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. The majority of roofs in Hayes Valley fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. Roof age across Hayes Valley clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. It is the same story on most Hayes Valley streets.
Dust and grit settle on Hayes Valley roofs through the dry months and wash into the drainage the first time it rains. On most jobs, a light-coloured covering in Hayes Valley measurably lowers attic temperature and takes load off the air conditioning. Roofs in Hayes Valley bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. We see it on Hayes Valley roofs every week.
