Bay Area's moderate climate with coastal fog, occasional heavy rain, and temperature variations makes several roof types ideal. Asphalt shingles perform excellently in our climate and are the most popular choice. Metal roofing excels in both coastal areas (resistant to salt air) and inland regions (heat reflective). For flat or low-slope roofs common in San Francisco, TPO and modern flat roof membranes provide excellent waterproofing.
