Housing stock in Hayes Valley runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling as a rule tells you when the building went up. A Hayes Valley property frequently carries more than one roof covering type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another.
Underlayment choice matters more than covering choice on a Hayes Valley tile roof covering, since that is the layer doing the waterproofing. Put simply, composition shingle is the most common covering in Hayes Valley and the cheapest to renew, but it is also the first to show UV damage. As a rule, synthetic composite has become a credible option in Hayes Valley where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk.
