3Which System Fits a Marina District Property
On most jobs, underlayment choice is what decides it more than covering choice on a Marina District tile roof covering, since that is the layer doing the waterproofing. Concrete tile suits Marina District buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question soonest. Reclaimed tile can be matched on Marina District heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Put simply, coatings suit Marina District buildings with a sound deck and a tired surface — they buy years, but they do not fix water already trapped in the insulation. That is as true in Marina District as anywhere in San Francisco County.
