3What to Ask a Bayview Roofer

Manufacturer certification matters on Bayview jobs since it is what makes the material warranty enforceable.

Low-slope sections in Bayview hold heat worst, which is why coatings and reflective membranes pay for themselves here.

We look over the deck from inside the attic on every Bayview job. Daylight through the sheathing tells you more than anything visible from the driveway. We check ventilation on every Bayview project, because a roof covering that cannot breathe will not reach its rated working life. This holds across San Francisco County. We photograph every elevation on a Bayview job so the documented estimate can be read against what is actually up there.
