Skylight seals on Noe Valley roofs want checking annually, as they give out quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. That is as true in Noe Valley as anywhere in San Francisco County.
Reclaimed tile can be matched on Noe Valley heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. San Francisco County is no different. TPO and modified bitumen both work on Noe Valley low-slope roof coverings, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. As a rule, tile is widespread across Noe Valley, and the tile will outlive the underlayment beneath it by decades — which is what catches owners out.
