Residential Roofing in Pacific Heights

Most Pacific Heights roofs that fail early fail at a penetration somebody could have resealed for a few hundred dollars. Two visits a year keeps a Pacific Heights roof honest: clear valleys and gutters before the rains, check flashings after the first storm.

Flashing at every penetration is replaced rather than reused on a Pacific Heights roof. A typical Pacific Heights re-roof runs one to three days depending on size, pitch and how much deck needs replacing.

A contractor who talks you out of unnecessary Pacific Heights work is the one worth calling back. Two warranties apply on Pacific Heights work — the manufacturer's on material and the installer's on workmanship.

Emergency work in Pacific Heights costs more than planned work, for the obvious reason that nobody chose the timing. Active leaks in Pacific Heights get same-day or next-day attention; planned work is scheduled around the weather.
