Installing an asphalt shingle roof in San Francisco typically starts with removing old roofing materials down to the roof deck. The deck is inspected for any damage and repaired if needed. A protective underlayment is then installed, followed by the new asphalt shingles, starting from the bottom edge and working upwards. Flashing is carefully placed around vents, chimneys, and valleys to ensure watertightness. Finally, drip edges are installed along the roof's edges.

For San Francisco's climate, durable materials like metal roofing (standing seam or panels) and high-quality asphalt shingles are excellent choices. Wood shingles or shakes can also work well, offering a classic look, but require more maintenance. Given the coastal influence, resistance to wind and moisture is key. For flatter roof sections, EPDM or TPO membranes are reliable. Licensed pros can assess your property and recommend the best materials during a free estimate. Call us to find out more.
