Flashing details matter more on a Richmond District roof covering than the covering choice, because salt finds the joint before it finds the field. Put simply, onshore wind carries salt several blocks inland here, so Richmond District roofs need galvanised or stainless fixings rather than the cheaper plated stock. Salt air is the quiet problem on a Richmond District roof. It attacks fasteners, flashing and any exposed metal long before the covering itself looks tired. On most jobs, gutters on Richmond District properties corrode from the inside, and the soonest sign is generally staining on the fascia rather than a visible hole.
Repair makes sense on a Richmond District roof with life left and a localised failure, and nowhere else. Cheap Richmond District quotes usually skip the flashing.
