SHINGLEROOFING

The Telegraph Hill version of this job

Roofs in Telegraph Hill do not wear out the way a brochure says they do, and the marine layer holds moisture on the roof well past sunrise. At about 338 miles northwest, Telegraph Hill is an easy run for us, inspection or emergency.

The roofs in North Beach, Russian Hill and Chinatown are built much the same way, and they fail the same way.

• Chimney and wall flashings are replaced, not painted over with sealant.
• Permits and inspections run through the local building department, and we pull them rather than leaving it to you.
• Access gets planned first - driveway, staging, dumpster placement - so the street stays usable.
• Magnet sweeps run morning and evening, which matters on a street with kids and bare feet.
• We photograph every penetration before and after, so the file shows the work.

The crews fill up fast when the first storm is on the ten-day forecast. Everything starts with a free inspection and a written number for your Telegraph Hill property.

Standards we hold on every Telegraph Hill job

Synthetic underlayment goes down over the whole deck, not just the valleys.

• You get a text when the crew is coming and a walk-through when they are done.
• You get a start date and a finish date in writing, and we hold them.
• Driveways get swept and gutters cleared as part of the job, not as an extra.
• Drip edge and starter course get installed properly - that is half the wind resistance.

Telegraph Hill in detail

The job list in Telegraph Hill repeats itself for a reason - sea air corrodes anything unprotected and keeps north slopes damp. 338 miles northwest means a crew, a ladder and a tarp can be there this afternoon.

Crews rotate through North Beach, Russian Hill and Chinatown, so the drive is routine.

• Skylights are re-flashed as part of the job rather than quoted as an extra later.
• Access gets planned first - driveway, staging, dumpster placement - so the street stays usable.
• We work around tenants and business hours where the building is occupied.
• Permits and inspections run through the local building department, and we pull them rather than leaving it to you.
• Gutters are pulled and refitted where they block a proper drip edge.

Scheduling before the rains means the whole job happens on dry decking. We will tell you if the roof has five years left, because that is also useful to know.

What the work looks like in Telegraph Hill

Payment is tied to progress, not demanded up front.

• Ice-and-water goes in at the valleys and penetrations even though it rarely freezes here.
• The site is cleaned daily, and the last magnet pass happens before the crew leaves.
• Any rot found under the old layers is swapped before anything new goes down.
• Edges are fastened to spec because that is where uplift starts.
