ROOF COATINGSilicone & Acrylic

A closer look at Nob Hill

Roofs in Nob Hill do not wear out the way a brochure says they do, and whatever fails first on these roofs fails at the edges. Being 338 miles northwest of Nob Hill, we can be on the roof before the next rain band arrives.

Jobs in Russian Hill, Chinatown and Pacific Heights run alongside this one most weeks.

• Skylights are flashed new rather than reused, because that is where the next leak starts.
• Solar gets detached and reset by a licensed crew, not improvised around.
• Gutters are pulled and refitted where they block a proper drip edge.
• Chimney and wall flashings are replaced, not painted over with sealant.
• Gutters are pulled and refitted properly instead of being crushed by a ladder.

A roof opened in October is a different job from one opened in January. We will tell you if the roof has five years left, because that is also useful to know.

The parts people ask about

Drip edge and starter course get installed properly - that is half the wind resistance.

• Financing exists if you want it, and nobody pushes it on you.
• A hot attic shortens any roof, so the venting is part of the quote, not an upsell.
• Most homes take two to four days once material lands.
• Plants and pool equipment are covered before tear-off begins.

What the street looks like in Nob Hill

Most of what we fix in Nob Hill traces back to one thing: the weather here punishes details, not products. From the yard it is roughly 338 miles northwest to Nob Hill - no travel surcharge, no week-long wait.

We are in Russian Hill, Chinatown and Pacific Heights constantly, and the housing stock is much the same.

• Satellite dishes and A/C line sets are re-flashed, not just set back down.
• Gutters are pulled and refitted where they block a proper drip edge.
• We work around tenants and business hours where the building is occupied.
• Magnet sweeps run morning and evening, which matters on a street with kids and bare feet.
• Where an HOA sets colour or material rules, we match the approved list before the job is quoted.

We would rather be on your roof in September than during the first atmospheric river. We will tell you if the roof has five years left, because that is also useful to know.

The things that actually matter

Change orders are discussed before anything is done, not billed afterwards.

• We check the attic as well as the roof; half of what we find shows from underneath.
• Ice-and-water goes in at the valleys and penetrations even though it rarely freezes here.
• The quote lists materials and labour separately so you can see what you are buying.
• Intake and exhaust are balanced on the same visit - a sealed attic cooks a new roof early.
