Low-slope sections in Visitacion Valley hold heat worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here. As a rule, roof covering surface temperatures in Visitacion Valley routinely run well above the air reading, and every material on the roof feels it. It is the same story on most Visitacion Valley streets.
Infrared scanning on a Visitacion Valley commercial roof locates wet insulation that no visual inspection would find. A Visitacion Valley roof is inspected from the attic as well as the roof surface; half the evidence is underneath. That is as true in Visitacion Valley as anywhere in San Francisco County. A Visitacion Valley inspection should end with a documented report and photographs, not a verbal summary and a price.
