Telegraph Hill Free Roof Program

Local notes for Telegraph Hill

There is nothing abstract about a Telegraph Hill roof: the marine layer holds moisture on the roof well past sunrise. Telegraph Hill is around 338 miles northwest of the shop, which keeps scheduling simple.

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

• Skylights are flashed new rather than reused, because that is where the next leak starts.
• We protect landscaping and the pool before a single bundle comes off the truck.
• Tear-off debris leaves the same day; nobody is left with a pile over the weekend.
• We work around tenants and business hours where the building is occupied.
• Solar gets detached and reset by a licensed crew, not improvised around.

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.

How we run the job in Telegraph Hill

If the attic has no real intake, we fix that rather than leaving a new roof to bake.

• Underlayment is where corners get cut; we use the system the manufacturer warrants.
• You get a text when the crew is coming and a walk-through when they are done.
• An inspection here means walking the roof, not pointing a camera at it from the driveway.
• Weather delays are called early rather than left to surprise you.

Telegraph Hill, up close

Every town in San Francisco County treats a roof a little differently, and fog drip keeps the north side wet long enough to grow moss. 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.

• Dry-in happens the same day the old roof comes off; nothing sits open overnight.
• Access gets planned first - driveway, staging, dumpster placement - so the street stays usable.
• We photograph every penetration before and after, so the file shows the work.
• We work around tenants and business hours where the building is occupied.
• Gutters are pulled and refitted properly instead of being crushed by a ladder.

The crews fill up fast when the first storm is on the ten-day forecast. We will tell you if the roof has five years left, because that is also useful to know.

Details that decide a Telegraph Hill roof

Driveways get swept and gutters cleared as part of the job, not as an extra.

• Weather delays are called early rather than left to surprise you.
• Intake and exhaust are balanced on the same visit - a sealed attic cooks a new roof early.
• We check the attic as well as the roof; half of what we find shows from underneath.
• Soft decking gets replaced, not covered - we quote a sheet count and show you the bad bays.
