A Twin Peaks property more often than not carries more than one roof type — a pitched main house in one material and a flatter garage or addition in another.

Put simply, most roof coverings in Twin Peaks fall into three groups: original coverings near the end of their life, replacements from the last two decades, and low-slope sections added later. San Francisco County is no different. Solar arrays on Twin Peaks roofs complicate replacement, and the panel age rarely matches the roof age. It is the same story on most Twin Peaks streets.
