Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. San Francisco County is no different. Low-slope sections in Ingleside hold heat worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here.

In practice, phasing a large Ingleside building across two seasons is often cheaper than financing the whole project at once. It is the same story on most Ingleside streets.
