That is as true in Hayes Valley as anywhere in San Francisco County. Converted garages in Hayes Valley are a common source of leaks because the roof covering was never upgraded with the conversion. Worth knowing before you sign anything. A Hayes Valley property frequently carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. Put simply, additions and conversions are common in Hayes Valley, and the joint between the original roof and the newer section is where most leaks begin.

Make good makes sense on a Hayes Valley roof with service life left and a localised failure, and nowhere else. Financing makes sense on a Hayes Valley roof covering that is actively failing; it rarely makes sense on one with years of life left. We see it on Hayes Valley roofs every week. Square footage is only half the cost of a Hayes Valley roof; pitch, access and layer count move the number as much. Worth knowing before you sign anything.
