9Choosing a Covering in Visitacion Valley
TPO and modified bitumen both the project on Visitacion Valley low-slope roofs, and the choice generally comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. That is as true in Visitacion Valley as anywhere in San Francisco County. Standing seam on a Visitacion Valley property hides its fixings, which removes the most common leak path on exposed metal. Realistically, reclaimed tile can be matched on Visitacion Valley heritage roof coverings, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Put simply, metal has grown in Visitacion Valley for its lifespan and reflectivity, though the fixing system has to allow for movement or the panels telegraph every fastener. San Francisco County is no different. Put simply, composition shingle is the most common covering in Visitacion Valley and the cheapest to replace, but it is also the first to show UV deterioration. Lightweight tile gives Visitacion Valley owners the look without the structural upgrade older framing would otherwise need.
Expansion and contraction loosens fixings on Visitacion Valley roofs long in advance of the material itself gives out. As a rule, summer heat is the main ageing force on a Visitacion Valley roof covering. Surface temperatures run far above the air reading, day once past day, for months. San Francisco County is no different. Roof surface temperatures in Visitacion Valley routinely run well above the air reading, and every material on the roof feels it.
