Pacific Heights Flat & Low-Slope Roof Repair

Work on a Pacific Heights roof starts with ground protection and a plan for where the debris goes. Flashing at every penetration is replaced rather than reused on a Pacific Heights roof.

Thermal cycling does the quiet damage in Pacific Heights — hot afternoons, cool nights, materials working against their fixings. Attic ventilation drives covering life in Pacific Heights as much as the weather above the roof does.

Composition shingle is the most common covering in Pacific Heights and typically runs fifteen to twenty-five years here. Metal suits many Pacific Heights roofs for lifespan and reflectivity, provided the fixing system allows for movement.

Low-slope sections on Pacific Heights buildings need a membrane or coating system rather than shingle laid flatter than it is rated for. Tile on a Pacific Heights property outlives its underlayment by decades, and the underlayment is the part doing the waterproofing.
