SHINGLEROOFING

Working in San Francisco

Across San Francisco County, San Francisco has its own wear pattern, because whatever fails first on these roofs fails at the edges. The shop is about 337 miles northwest, which is why we can be out the same day.

Crews rotate through Daly City, South San Francisco and Oakland, so nothing about these streets is new to us.

• Skylights are re-flashed as part of the job rather than quoted as an extra later.
• Material is delivered the morning of the job, not left on the driveway for a week.
• Tear-off debris leaves the same day; nobody is left with a pile over the weekend.
• Solar gets detached and reset by a licensed crew, not improvised around.
• We protect landscaping and the pool before a single bundle comes off the truck.

We would rather find the problem in the dry months and fix it on a schedule. The inspection is free, and so is the second opinion if you already have a quote.

The things that actually matter

We photograph every slope and penetration so you see what we see before deciding anything.

• Weather delays are called early rather than left to surprise you.
• A hot attic shortens any roof, so the venting is part of the quote, not an upsell.
• The written warranty names what is covered and for how long, with no asterisk games.
• Ice-and-water goes in at the valleys and penetrations even though it rarely freezes here.

Why San Francisco roofs wear the way they do

Before materials come into it, the site decides the job: in San Francisco, fog drip keeps the north side wet long enough to grow moss. We are 337 miles northwest of San Francisco; crews pass through most days anyway.

We know Daly City, South San Francisco and Oakland as well as we know San Francisco.

• Satellite dishes and A/C line sets are re-flashed, not just set back down.
• Skylights are flashed new rather than reused, because that is where the next leak starts.
• Material is delivered the morning of the job, not left on the driveway for a week.
• Access gets planned first - driveway, staging, dumpster placement - so the street stays usable.
• Dry-in happens the same day the old roof comes off; nothing sits open overnight.

A roof opened in October is a different job from one opened in January. Expect photos, a measured scope and a number you can compare against anyone else.

What separates a good job from a cheap one

You get a start date and a finish date in writing, and we hold them.

• Change orders are discussed before anything is done, not billed afterwards.
• Fascia and rafter tails get checked while the edge is open.
• Plants and pool equipment are covered before tear-off begins.
• Edges are fastened to spec because that is where uplift starts.
