1Roof Age Across Presidio

As a rule, a Presidio property often carries more than one roof covering type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another. Older Presidio buildings frequently sit on their second or third covering, and the layer count counts more than the age when planning the next one. Realistically, housing stock in Presidio runs across several eras, and each one brings its own roof. What sits above the ceiling usually tells you when the building went up. San Francisco County is no different. In practice, roof age across Presidio clusters around the decades when the area filled in, which means whole streets reach the end of their covering within a few years of each other. That is as true in Presidio as anywhere in San Francisco County. Put simply, converted garages in Presidio are a common source of leaks given that the roof was never upgraded with the conversion. This holds across San Francisco County.

Manufacturer certification matters on Presidio jobs given that it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. San Francisco County is no different. On most jobs, the Presidio contractor who tells you a repair will do, when a make good will do, is the one worth calling back.

2Maintaining a Presidio Roof

Walking a Presidio tile roof damages it; inspection should be from the edge, a ladder or a drone. In practice, a Presidio roof covering with working drainage outlasts an identical roof without it by years. In practice, drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Presidio building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. Realistically, moss on a shaded Presidio slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Most Presidio roofs that let go early fail at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars.

Put simply, unpermitted roofing in Presidio surfaces at resale. the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection keeps the record, and a buyer's inspector knows to look for it. Realistically, fire-zone properties around Presidio carry assembly requirements that the permit will inspect against. Permit fees in Presidio are a small part of the job and a large part of what protects the homeowner at resale.

3Storm Damage Claims in Presidio

Put simply, wind load and storm deterioration on a Presidio roof is covered where it is documented; wear is not covered anywhere. Policies covering Presidio properties generally pay for sudden damage and not for age, so the report has to separate the two clearly. That is as true in Presidio as anywhere in San Francisco County. Matching provisions in a policy matter on Presidio tile roof coverings where the original profile is discontinued. In practice, photographs taken before any tarping on a Presidio property are the most valuable evidence in the whole claim. Nearly all Presidio claims that fail do so because the damage was cleaned up or patched before anyone photographed it.

4How We Inspect a Presidio Roof

Valley condition is the single best indicator of how a Presidio roof has been maintained. We see it on Presidio roofs every week. Core samples settle the argument on a Presidio low-slope roof when moisture is suspected but not visible. We see it on Presidio roofs every week. Put simply, we check ventilation on every Presidio job, because a roof covering that cannot breathe will not reach its rated service life. Photographs with dates are part of every Presidio inspection, since an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. On most jobs, drone access on steep or fragile Presidio roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. Put simply, we photograph every elevation on a Presidio job so the documented estimate can be read against what is actually up there. It is the same story on most Presidio streets.

San Francisco County is no different. In practice, clean-up and magnetic nail sweep should be in the Presidio contract, not assumed.

6What to Ask a Presidio Roofer

As a rule, written scope, written price and a written warranty are the minimum on any Presidio job. That is as true in Presidio as anywhere in San Francisco County. Manufacturer certification matters on Presidio jobs because it is what makes the material warranty enforceable. Two warranties apply on Presidio the job: the manufacturer's on the material and the installer's on the workmanship. Ask for both.

Two visits a year keeps a Presidio roof honest: clear the valleys and gutters ahead of the rains, and check the flashings after the first heavy storm.

It is the same story on most Presidio streets. Realistically, the temperature swing in Presidio is narrow but the humidity is not, and sustained damp is harder on underlayment than heat alone. Gutters on Presidio properties corrode from the inside, and the first sign is usually staining on the fascia rather than a visible hole.

The variable line on any Presidio written price is deck repair, and it should be priced per sheet in writing rather than hidden in an allowance. This holds across San Francisco County. Realistically, a Presidio estimate that comes in far below the others is as a rule missing the flashing, the permit or the disposal. Deck replacement on a Presidio project is unknown until the tear-off, which is why it belongs in the contract as a per-sheet rate. It is the same story on most Presidio streets. In practice, cost on a Presidio roof comes down to size, pitch, how many layers come off, and what the deck looks like underneath. We see it on Presidio roofs every week.
