1How We Work on a South of Market Roof

The South of Market crew walks the finished roof covering with the homeowner, which is the right time to raise anything that looks off. Photographs are taken at each stage on South of Market jobs so the owner sees what was covered up. Dry-in happens before the crew leaves a South of Market site, every day, without exception. Work on a South of Market roof starts with protection — ground cover, gutter guards and a plan for where the debris goes.

In practice, penetration boots on South of Market roofs are replaced as a matter of course during a re-roof. Tear-off on a South of Market job exposes the deck, and that is the moment to agree any repair rather than after the fact. Ridge ventilation on South of Market jobs is set out at the start so the cut line is right.

2Reading a South of Market Roof Early

As a rule, cracked tile on a South of Market roof covering is cosmetic; the paper beneath it is not. Daylight visible through the deck from inside a South of Market attic is a structural issue, not a covering issue. Soft spots underfoot on a South of Market roof covering mean the sheathing has taken water and requires replacing. Repeat stains in the same South of Market ceiling after every storm point to flashing rather than to the field.

Staining on the fascia of a South of Market property as a rule means the gutters, not the roof. Moss on the shaded slope of a South of Market roof holds moisture against the covering and shortens its life. As a rule, curling or cupping tabs on a South of Market roof mean the material has lost its flexibility and will not recover.

6When South of Market Roofs Need Attention

South of Market Roofing Questions

How do you inspect a roof in South of Market?

Every South of Market inspection ends with photographs and a written report rather than a verbal summary and a price. A South of Market inspection starts at the flashings — chimney, vents, skylights — because they fail long before the field does.

Repair makes sense on a South of Market roof with life left and one localised failure; beyond that it is money spent twice. A South of Market estimate worth comparing itemises tear-off, disposal, underlayment, covering, flashing, permit and clean-up.

What makes roofs in South of Market different?
