Skylight seals on Visitacion Valley roofs want checking annually, as they let go quietly and drip into the ceiling cavity. San Francisco County is no different. Drainage is the cheapest maintenance on any Visitacion Valley building — blocked outlets cause more damage here than the storms themselves. On most jobs, loose ridge caps on a Visitacion Valley roof are a five-minute fix in advance of the winds and a much larger one after. Moss on a shaded Visitacion Valley slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. Nearly all Visitacion Valley roofs that fail early let go at a penetration someone could have resealed for a few hundred dollars.
Local experience matters in Visitacion Valley since the failure modes here are high temperatures, wind and drainage rather than snow and ice. As a rule, ask any Visitacion Valley roofer what happens if the deck is worse than expected, and get the answer in advance of the covering comes off. As a rule, check that the Visitacion Valley crew doing the work is employed by the company quoting it.
