Realistically, older Oceanview buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count matters more than the age when planning the next one. Solar arrays on Oceanview roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age. San Francisco County is no different.
As a rule, roofs in Oceanview bake. Asphalt loses its oils, membranes lose their plasticisers, and sealant shrinks back from every flashing. San Francisco County is no different. Dry offshore winds reach Oceanview through autumn, lifting shingle tabs and ridge caps in the direction roofs are least lapped to resist. It is the same story on most Oceanview streets. Attic ventilation on a Oceanview property is not optional — trapped heat cooks the covering from underneath. It is the same story on most Oceanview streets.
