1Warning Signs on a South of Market Roof

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. A musty South of Market attic after rain indicates water getting in somewhere above. Repeat stains in the same South of Market ceiling after every storm point to flashing rather than to the field.

Blistering on a South of Market low-slope roof means trapped moisture under the membrane. Staining on the fascia of a South of Market property as a rule means the gutters, not the roof covering. Cracked tile on a South of Market roof is cosmetic; the paper beneath it is not.

2The South of Market Job, Start to Finish

Valleys on a South of Market roof covering are detailed before the field goes down, not after. As a rule, flashing at every penetration is replaced rather than reused on a South of Market roof, since reused flashing is where the next leak starts. Underlayment goes down the same day the deck is open on South of Market jobs; nothing is left exposed overnight. In practice, final clean-up on a South of Market property includes a magnetic sweep for nails, which counts more than most owners expect.

Dry-in happens ahead of the crew leaves a South of Market site, every day, without exception. In practice, inspection sign-off closes a permitted South of Market job; the paperwork goes to the homeowner.
