Put simply, infrared scanning on a Richmond District commercial roof covering locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. That is as true in Richmond District as anywhere in San Francisco County. Photographs with dates are part of every Richmond District inspection, because an undocumented claim gets read as wear and tear by any adjuster. San Francisco County is no different. On most jobs, drone access on steep or fragile Richmond District roofs gets the detail without anyone walking a covering that cannot take it. San Francisco County is no different. We check the deck from inside the attic on every Richmond District job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway.
In practice, garage and patio roof coverings in Richmond District are frequently lower slope than the house and need an entirely different system. Original decking on older Richmond District homes is often skip sheathing, which changes what can be laid over it. We see it on Richmond District roofs every week. Where Richmond District buildings have been re-roofed twice, the next job is a tear-off regardless of what the property owner would prefer.
